Description
Morphology
The mouth is 0.40x0.60 metres and is open on a bedding plane. It gives way to a 10-metre pit of constant dimensions that can easily be free-climbed. At the bottom we find a small chamber with a steep boulder slope that leads to a new 5-metre pit, at the bottom of which, in an impenetrable passage, the cavity ends.

Other details
Along the entire length of the 10-metre pit, clear signs of corrosion are visible on the rock.
