A cavity in the Var whose small entrance leads to Un puits de 10 mètres (A 10-metre pit), followed by pits and steps down to the -62 level.
Description
Morphology
The small entrance gives access to Un puits de 10 mètres (A 10-metre pit) of modest dimensions. At its base, A large opening leads to Un puits de 30 mètres (A fairly roomy 30-metre pit). A loose ledge offers two possible descents through A series of steps; these 2 routes meet after A few metres. Taking the narrower route, A small opening 3 metres lower gives access to Un beau puits parallèle de 8 mètres (A fine parallel 8-metre pit), continuing with Un ressaut de 4 mètres (A 4-metre step).
Progression
An attempted dig by ACT A took place at the -62 level.
