A 2-metre drop leads to a small, narrow, steep gallery, then to a low chamber and a terminal fissure that narrows toward the back.
Description
Morphology
A 2-metre drop lands in a small, narrow, steep gallery. At the bottom, a small low chamber gives onto a narrow fissure, 3 metres long, very selective. A liberating step offers the terminal fissure, which narrows irremediably toward the back.
Progression
Equipment: A spit at the start of the drop and a 5-metre rope to help climb back up the first slope.
Other details
Note: the upstream part of the entrance fissure was being dug open in 2001.
