Small cavity in the lapiaz, consisting of a step, a vertical squeeze and a crawlway, with no equipment needed.
Description
Morphology
A small opening (0.5 m x 0.4 m) in a very small lapiaz leads to a step ending in a vertical squeeze. This continues as a crawlway that cuts across a descending interstratum. At the bottom, another squeeze opens into an intersection of joints, both ending in impassable but nevertheless interesting passages.
Progression
No equipment is needed.
Other details
It might be interesting to open up the two squeezes at -4 and -5. This cavity seems not to be very well ventilated: CO2 is observed toward the bottom.
