LARGE CAVE (Brooks 2009)

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

A seasonal stream sink (Brooks 2009.06.06 Mss: Krem Little and Krem Large). ETYMOLOGY: No autochthonous and locally known name has been identified for what Brooks (2009.06.06 Mss: Krem Little and Krem Large) turned into what seems to be an Anglo-Khasi bastard called Krem Little (note 1).SITUATION: At an inexplicable location and in an unidentified spatial relation to the other caves in the vicinity of the Um Muju area (Brooks 2009.06.06 Mss: Krem Little and Krem Large). APPROACH: Brooks (2009.06.06 Mss: Krem Little and Krem Large) reconstructed from HR notes an approach, according to which one may follow a seasonal stream [without identified name] down hill [without direction] through … Krem Little [i.e. –>Little Cave, Brooks 2009] and out of far side of rift to reach Krem Large just beyond. CAVE DESCRIPTION: Brooks (2009.06.06 Mss: Krem Little and Krem Large) interpretes a passage of HR notes to mention an open pothole estimated 15 m deep. That leads to 2nd pitch of unknown depth. TAKLE: Brooks (2009.06.06 Mss: Krem Little and Krem Large) interpretes HR notes to start with packing SRT rope + belays ¬ 30 m + 40 m (at least). PROSPECTS: Good (Brooks 2009.06.06 Mss: Krem Little and Krem Large).KLE: Brooks (2009.06.06 Mss: Krem Little and Krem Large) interpretes HR notes to start with packing SRT rope + belays ¬ 30 m + 40 m (at least). PROSPECTS: Good (Brooks 2009.06.06 Mss: Krem Little and Krem Large).
