NOTE 4: "First" Third Kandwa Dhar Saddle (NNW-SSE) 30°45'21”: E077°47'08”: 2400 m asl (Everest 1830, S.I. Forest Map 53-F/13 S2, circa 1940).

From Kandwa Dhar (note 1) recorded Glennie (1946.08.01 Mss) »A wide hole in the cliff face with a depth at present of accessable [sic!] of 50 ft. [15.24 m]« which contains »a small dry chamber at one end with a deep hole in the floor blocked by a large boulder. This needs smashing with a crowbar and a sledge hammer and pulling away by rope.« SITUATION: »Take South track down spur from Bodyar FRH [note 2]to the second saddle in the ridge where paths meet [note 3]. From here, proceed along the contour [ca. 2400 m asl] on the right or West side of the hill opposite to the South-west to the small saddle [the second saddle?], with steep rocks on its further side. A valley which is a fallen in pothole goes East across the direction of the main ridge from this third saddle [note 4]. 50 yds down from the saddle on the left hand side [approx. south-east] is Kandwa pot« (Glennie 1946.08.01 Mss). TACKLE: »One 46 ft. [14 m] ladder and a long belay will reach.« PROSPECTS: Glennie (1946.08.01 Mss) recorded possible pothole cave entrances (see Kandwa Pot 2 etc.) »All these might be entered if digging is carried out in the immediate locality. The whole Kandwa hill needs a digging party's attention for a long time.« Leakey (1946.08.20 sheet 6): »A shepard who showed us Kandwa Pot knew of no others on Kandwa Dhar.« Leakey (1946.08.20 sheet 7): »Collapsed caves on Kandwa Dhar: Tried to find these by skirting the contour into the collapsed cave of Kandwa Pot. Saw no sign of another collapsed cave valley, but can't be sure.«
