It's a metal covering over the dig sites - archaeologists are interested in the cave as Neanderthals (or something similar) lived there 'back in the day'. Fortunately there's a deal in place whereby climbers get the cave in winter and they use it in summer, and they cover the bits they're interested in when they leave each year. Actually it's quite useful for keeping your kit out of the dust!
Good work Tom (and nice photos Lynne)!
