Description
Morphology
The pit has three openings to the outside; the most obvious is the upper one. At the base of the small shaft an ascending ramp follows that connects through a narrow passage with the upper mouth. Continuing down over some uncomfortable blocks, one reaches the lower mouth. Shortly before, the cavity gains depth through a stony ramp that ends at a narrow and elongated drop of -6 metres. The gallery becomes impassable on one side. On the other side we soon reach a gaping passage; by skirting it one reaches an earthy chamber with a drop of -6 metres where the exploration ends.
Progression
It is easier to enter through the middle mouth after installing a 5 metre small shaft.
Other details
The gallery becomes impassable on one side, which is where the icy air current emerges that gives one of the names of the pit.
History
Explored by the GELL around 1996.
