Narrow entrance of 1 m by 0.4 m opening onto a very narrow vertical shaft-fissure, broken midway by a severe squeeze, dangerous due to falling stones and lack of air.
Description
Morphology
A narrow entrance (1 m x 0.4 m) opens directly onto a very narrow vertical shaft-fissure, broken midway by a severe squeeze. It emerges into a short widening forming a chamber that narrows again and is lost in the depths.
Other details
The whole is dangerous insofar as it is impossible to shelter from falling stones; moreover, the cramped nature of the place implies a total lack of air. It would be suicidal to go further down, even though a significant continuation cannot be ruled out.
