Description
Morphology
AV11 is a pretty 23-metre pit on a fault with a ledge at -10 m. At the base of the pit, a constriction overlooks a 4-metre drop that leads to the lowest point.
Hydrology
A 6-metre climb in this pit leads to a small ascending forced conduit that quickly becomes impassable. A 6-metre climb gives access to a small forced conduit that ends at a choke.
Progression
Only the AV11 entrance is easily passable, the AV11b entrance being partly obstructed by a block. The continuation is in the fault: 2 metres of climbing then an R1 give access to the base of the AV11b pit. We are close to the surface.
