Gouffre de la Femme Morte opens with a 13-metre shaft whose base leads to an inclined gallery and two branches.
Description
Morphology
The gate closing the entrance opens easily with a square key. It begins with a 13-metre shaft. Its base is fairly vast and gives access to an inclined gallery about ten metres long. After a downclimb over a step, two possibilities: on the right, a narrow passage giving access to a 4 m shaft, ending in a chamber; on the left, a 2-metre step blocked by a scree cone.
