Network explored down to -65 m, where a 10 cm wide terminal fissure lets through a draught and a sound of water.
Description
Morphology
The terminal fissure at -65 m is 10 cm wide and several metres long. The cavity continues as a very steep forced conduit with no difficulty.
Hydrology
Water flows in a tiny crawlway with an interesting draught. At the terminal fissure at -65 m, there is a draught and a sound of water.
Progression
The continuation must be sought at the low point of the chamber (unstable scree) to find the top of a R4 defended by a constriction then a last P6; this is the 2005 bottom at -47 m. a blast then work with hammer and chisel allowed the passage to be forced. a 3 m step that follows is descended by climbing. The next constriction remains severe.
Other details
The network's galleries must be close.
