This is about as narrow as I saw in the cave. I put the DLSR away after this to free my hands and avoid bashing it against the floor or wall. Caves come much smaller, of course. I am a little startled that the GPS trackpoint appears to be accurate.

I had been debating if it was worthwhile buying the $7 "bump hat" in the visitor center. It was. Now I have cave helmet as a souvenir instead of a scalp scar.

The light is mostly supplied by a "Kick" light (small battery powered LED light). The Kick threw a much wider swath of light than my flashlight or headlamp. This was where light from the entrance was no longer visible. I shut the flashlight(s) off briefly here and experienced the profound darkness available in caves.
