Description

Morphology

The entrance measures 0.5 m x 0.5 m and gives access to Un inclined slide in a forced conduit interspersed with a constriction. This gallery ends at a step filled with large blocks. A narrow passage through these blocks leads to Un beautiful subvertical shaft of about ten metres. At the bottom, another constriction between the blocks gives access to the next shaft, circular and vertical. At the bottom of this shaft, a cramped gallery ending in a muddy chamber pinches out into an impassable sump. On the side of the first shaft, a small silted-up chamber is accessible by a climb.

Progression

The climb on the side of the first shaft gives access to a small silted-up chamber, with Un probable access to the aven de l'Ongle.
