Description

Morphology

The not very large entrance is found among some not very large blocks and is slit-shaped. After a drop of about 3 metres, we reach a descending gallery full of gravel and blocks. Both the height of the gallery and the slope remain constant until the end of the route, where it narrows until it becomes impassable.

Progression

The drop of about 3 metres is easily descended by “ramonage”.

History

The first exploration data were provided by the GELL in 1998.
