MUPUD 5 (Jarratt 2003) (Krem)

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A large pothole cave entrance (without specified shape or size) drops some 26 m down into a somehow large chamber (without specified shape or size) where low crawl continues unexplored. SITUATION 1 (Jarratt 2003.03.13 Mss: Krem Muput 5 / Mooput): In what had been in February 2003 a deforested ground, which lies without specified spatial relation somehow near the first Krem –>Mupud (Jarratt 2003). SITUATION 2 (Brooks, S J et al. 2009.02 Mss -Diary 2009.doc- Thursday 19th): In an unspecified spatial relation nearby Krem –>Mupud 5a (Brooks 2009) and Krem –>Mupud 6 (Brooks 2009). POSITION: According to Arbenz, T (2009.06.01 Mss: total 2009.xls), the three distinct entrances to Krem Moopud 5/5A and Krem Moopud 6 are all positioned near N25°20'37.7”: E092°29'51.4”: 1113 m as if the three distinct voids would occupy one and the same space. This seems to be unlikely. CAVE DESCRIPTION (Brooks, S J et al. 2009.02 Mss -Diary 2009.doc- Thursday 19th): A fine shaft of 26 m deep that entered a arge chamber with no way on except for a low crawl with no draft [more likely: no air draught]. This was not pushed as it offered very limited potential and 32 m of passage surveyed in the chamber and pitch. SPELEOMETRY: Arbenz, T (2009.06.01 Mss: total 2009.xls) counts not only the Moopud 5/5A but also Moopud 6 as one and lists the survey lengths 16.48 m (16.02.2009) and 78.44 m (19.02.2009) adding up to 94.92 m (survey 2009 = total 2009).
