The head of pitch which needs tackle (approx. 20 m) (Bayley 2002.02.24 Mss). SITUATION: At an inexplicable spatial relation (note 1) to the cave entrances of Krem –>Shrieh (Khaidong) 2 and Krem –>Shrieh (Khaidong) 3, the entrance to Krem Shrieh (Khaidong) 1 appears to lie at a clambering distance of another -30 m down across the bouldery floor of the Krem Shrieh doline of Krem –>Shrieh (Khaidong) - Wah poh Jingtep (Bayley 2002.02.24 Mss). CAVE DESCRIPTION: Krem shrieh, Khaidong, Martin, Shelly. False start started to survey the wrong cave! Continued to survey the correct cave gaining 150 m. A 60 m pitch was dropped, -The Last Butter Biscuit-, into a large chamber with 2x large passages going off. At the bottom of the pitch was a 1 m deep lake which the electric drill survived being plumeted [sic!] into, phew!!
