Description
Morphology
Un vaste puits concrétionné de 31 mètres (a vast, decorated 31-metre shaft) has been divided into two parts. In the vast fracture that forms the pit, one must make one's way through collapsed blocks welded together by calcite flows. The bottom lies at -67.
Progression
At the bottom of the shaft, Jean-Louis Deplaye climbs the 8 metres that give access to the continuation. Two shafts of 8 and 6 metres have been rigged with ropes. a short 6-metre descent is still necessary to reach the bottom (-67).
