a network whose 2005 limit reaches -47 m, extended by a steep forced conduit to a terminal fissure at -65 m.
Description
Morphology
The continuation is sought at the low point of the chamber, in Un éboulis instable, to find the top of Un R4 defended by a constriction then Un dernier P6. This is the 2005 limit at -47 m. a 3 m step follows. The next constriction remains severe, then the cavity continues in the form of a very steep forced conduit with no difficulty. The terminal fissure at -65 m is 10 cm wide, for several metres in length.
Hydrology
The water flows in Un minuscule boyau with Un courant d’air intéressant. At the terminal fissure, there is a draught and Un bruit d’eau.
Progression
Un tir puis Un travail au marteau et burin a permis de forcer le passage. The 3 m step that follows is descended by climbing.
Other details
The network's galleries must be close.
