a narrow joint-entry, that of the Cigale Rouge, leads via a step and a vertical drop to a small chamber cluttered with blocks.
Description
Morphology
a circular pit mouth 3 x 3 m opens right next to the entrance, but it is very quickly obstructed: the bottom can be seen from above. The diaclase est (joint-entry) is that of the Cigale Rouge. At -9, one lands in a small chamber whose floor is cluttered with blocks, into which a lateral shaft arrives high up.
Progression
The correct entrance is the narrow one. The descent must be rigged; it begins with a step of a little more than 2 m followed by a narrow vertical drop of about 7 m in two parts.
Other details
The small chamber does not allow one to break through beneath the circular pit mentioned above, as one might have hoped.
