Description

Morphology

Un first, relatively narrow shaft, 10 m deep, opens onto Un small ledge littered with blocks. From there, one reaches either through a squeeze or through a window a fine shaft 25 metres deep. At the bottom of this one, a new window allows access to Un 5-metre step, which is in fact the bottom of Un parallel shaft. This shaft is obstructed by rubble.

Progression

The entrance shaft was the subject of a series of diggings that led to creating a well-open fault along an erosion blade... which sounded the death knell of the exploration!
