Description
Morphology
Two entrances, one higher and another some 5 metres lower, give way to respective shafts that join at a depth of 20 metres. On the opposite side of the junction of the two shafts, a narrow vertical passage closes at -32.
Progression
Below the upper shaft, an accumulation of snow and ice (summer 1977) allowed passage into a narrow fissure that becomes impassable at the -35 level.
History
Located and explored in August 1977 by members of the Société Spéléologique de Plantaurel.
