A cavity that begins with an opening of 1.5 metres by 0.8 metre and continues with a step, a sloping chamber, a meandering gallery, an equipped ledge and a pit of about 10 metres leading to a junction.
Description
Morphology
The entrance is an opening of about 1.5 metres by 0.8 metre. A 3 to 4 metre step can be down-climbed. A sloping chamber follows this step; it continues as a meandering gallery. An ascending ledge gives access to a pit of about 10 metres. At the bottom of the pit, a low passage leads to a junction. After the lake, an ascent on a flowstone deposit gives access to the continuation of the cave, where a few ledges and steps must be equipped.
Speleothems
To the left of the junction, down-climbs lead to a chamber and decorated side passages.
Hydrology
To the right of the junction, low passages and a squeeze lead to a lake, dried up outside the rainy periods.
Progression
The 3 to 4 metre step can be down-climbed, but it is better to place a length of rope. The ascending ledge must be equipped (hangers + spits) to reach the pit of about 10 metres. To the right of the junction, low passages and a squeeze lead to the lake; after the lake, an ascent on a flowstone deposit gives access to the continuation of the cave, where a few ledges and steps must be equipped.
