Cave with a mossy canole, a keyhole-shaped diaclase and a terminal pit choked by Un éboulis (a rockfall), with animal bones and bats.
Description
Morphology
A mossy canole (0.7 m x 1.0 m) cluttered with blocks ends at a vertical squeeze. The descent allows one to stand in a keyhole-shaped diaclase. One of the sides ends at a choked forced conduit. The other gives access to a narrow, cleared window that begins with a fairly wide step. At the bottom and above the floor, a small squeeze, also cleared, opens onto the terminal pit (2 m x 2 m) choked by Un éboulis (a rockfall).
Progression
One can also descend via the upper entrance (in that case bring a 20-metre rope).
Other details
WARNING: as the last pit is not ventilated, CO2 fills it within a few minutes.
Bio
Numerous animal bones are found there. Several bats can be observed in the upper parts.
