An artificial, tubed entrance leads to a 4-metre vertical drop and then to a descending crawl that opens onto the top of P 106, a chimney climbed on ascent.
Description
Morphology
The artificial entrance, cleared and tubed by Aragonite Caussenarde, opens onto a small 4-metre vertical drop followed by a descending crawl, narrow and crooked, which opens onto a small platform at the top of P 106.
This is in fact a chimney that was climbed on ascent at the time of the first explos. This "shaft" is broken into several sections with possible ledges.
Progression
At the bottom of the shaft, heading back upstream, one reaches the foot of another large chimney which is the arrival coming from the old network of the natural entrance. Downstream, steps and muddy passages lead to the lowest point of the cavity.
