DAJONG RONGKOL 1a

Herbert Daniel Gebauer - 06/01/2018

An allegedly 26 m deep pothole, which is climbable by chimneying and back and footing V.D.C., is connected to –>Dajong Rongkol 1b (Colin Rogers 2001.03.21 personal communication). Compare –>AA Cave (Siju) and –>AA Cave (Siju Songmong). SITUATION: There are rapids in the River Simsang at an unspecified distance upstream of Siju Cave (i.e. –>Dobhakol, Siju) and the Inspection Bungalow. Some 400 m upstream of these rapids, there is a seasonal island and a collapsed cliff on the left (eastern) bank. These mark the position of three cave features (note 1). The first cave (Dajong Rongkol 2) lies about 37 m (paced) from the river. The second (Dajong Rongkol 1b) lies another 39 m further away. The main entrance to Dajong Rongkol lies at the side of a jungle trail path. ADVENTURE POTENTIAL: Due to tiger and elephant, it is not advisable to visit Dajong Rongkol at night. Possibly the greatest hazards, however, are the deceptively crumbly rocks and unstable ruckles of boulders in eroded cliffs. rossing the water by dugout canoe --a surprisingly unstable craft-- the fishermen are consummate acrobats as they stand on a platform as unstable as a tightrope (Colin Rogers 2001.03.21 personal communication).rossing the water by dugout canoe --a surprisingly unstable craft-- the fishermen are consummate acrobats as they stand on a platform as unstable as a tightrope (Colin Rogers 2001.03.21 personal communication).
