A stream sink Krem Wah Sarok 2 was found and descended by Mark B, Robin and Brian C. They rigged a series of classic pitches to a canal, nearly blocked by flowstone with a strong draught. Tony B. and Jane continued with surface recce (Brooks, S J et al. 2007.03.01 Mss: Diary2007.doc). According to JARRATT & DAWSON (2007), a stream sink, Krem Wah Sarok 2, was descended by Mark B, Robin and Brian C. on the 6th when a strongly draughting canal, almost blocked by flowstone, was reached after a series of classic pitches. 2007.02.17, trip 2: At last, on the 17th [2007.02.17], … others recced and found that Krem Wah Sarok 2 was correctly called Krem Heh U Reh (JARRATT & DAWSON 2007).
