Description

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An apparently promising cave (note 1), which has been characterised by frustrating expectant collectors of lengthwise measured distances (note 2), lies estimated 100 m downstream of the cave titled –>Khun Tangi 1 (1997.11.09) in the eastern face of the gorge and about 9 m above the riverbed. The first 5 m of ascent require a scaling pole or bolts.An apparently promising cave (note 1), which has been characterised by frustrating expectant collectors of lengthwise measured distances (note 2), lies estimated 100 m downstream of the cave titled –>Khun Tangi 1 (1997.11.09) in the eastern face of the gorge and about 9 m above the riverbed.
