Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 25/06/2016

A relatively low and wide cave entrance (8 m wide, 0.4 m high) and spring of water faces south-east and gives access to about 150 m of spacious walking passage (10 m wide, 8 m high) below meandering ceiling channels. The accessible part of the upstream part leads past two collapse entrances to a boulder choke where the inaccessible part of the cave commences to continue. SITUATION: An estimated 100 m in a direct line approximately north from the insurgence cave entrance to Krem –>Umda 1 - Umso. APPROACH: Enter the cave entrance to Krem –>Umso (exsurgence), traverse underground upstream to the cave entrance of Krem –>Umda (insurgence), and keep on going generally north by following the 4 m wide and sandy streambed of the Wah Umda.
