Besides the difficulty to go ahead in the forest common to both groups, in the first group there is the unknown factor of the success of the mission, since the reachment of the sotano will be made difficult by the morphology of the soil, beacause the zone is covered by extremely intricate vegetation and crossed by endless and sharp blades of rock (carren) that have to be walked on. The seocnd will also have the problem of the transportation to shoulder of the heavy and delicate speleodiving equipment, first in the forest and then to the end of the cave about 1100 meters long.
That's all for now, we'll go back to you in nine days with news, good news we hope.
