Three entrances (C94a, C94b, C94c) of the same pit network, the largest of which descends to 25 m before being blocked by a snow plug.
Description
Morphology
The largest pit (C94a) allows a descent to a depth of 25 m. Around -15 m, the pit spirals and widens. C94b opens on the same fissure towards the south-east. C94c opens a few metres west of C94a; a fissure allows a descent to -3 m, stopping at a constriction that allows a view down to about -6 m.
Progression
In C94a, one lands on a snow plug at about -5 m; one must squeeze between snow and wall. Finally the snow plug blocks the pit at 25 m. To be revisited after a long period of snow melt. Slight draught of air being drawn in. In C94b, a down-climb allows one to land at -3 m on a snow plug; the cavity appears blocked at about -7 m but the last step has not been descended.
