Description

Morphology

The shaft zone includes a 22 m shaft known as the Cacahouètes, with a narrow entrance, which brings the explorer to the -30 m level. At this point, two continuations present themselves: the first through a low passage in the continuation of the previous shaft, the second through the low gallery intersected by a 2 m step and followed by a 9 m shaft.

Progression

To reach the shaft zone, one must travel about forty metres through a series of cramped passages, then descend the 22 m shaft known as the Cacahouètes, with a narrow entrance, which leads to the -30 m level. At this point, two continuations present themselves. The first, through a low passage in the continuation of the previous shaft, is descended by abseil "P 12"; there follows an ascending meander (galerie de Minuit) where one can travel about forty metres, its end finishing 14 m below the surface of the field. Back at the base of the P 22, one takes the low gallery intersected by a 2 m step and followed by a 9 m shaft; at its base one finds the arrival of the meander (see survey sheet).
