Aven beginning with a 22-metre shaft and descending to a low point at -87 metres.
Description
Morphology
The Aven begins with a fine 22-metre shaft opening onto a joint. At the bottom of the scree, a short gallery leads to a chamber formed by two chimneys rising close to the surface (scree). The fine 15-metre shaft has fine dimensions; it is broken at 25 metres.
Progression
The descent of the initial shaft is done in a single pitch. One lands at the top of a scree cone, which is descended to continue the visit. On the right, while descending the chamber, a small climb (easy) leads through a crawlway to the 15-metre shaft (handline in the crawlway). At the bottom of this shaft, a side passage leads to the top of the magnificent P45. At the bottom, a ventilated crawlway widened by the SC Lozère leads to the low point of the Aven (-87m).
