Discovered in 1986, this cavity, whose entrance fissure suggested a vertical drop of at least 20 m, turns out to be a 6 m step with a ledge littered with blocks, the bottom being at -9.
Description
Morphology
The entrance fissure leads to a 6 m step with a ledge littered with blocks in the middle. The bottom is at -9.
Progression
At the time of its discovery, the entrance fissure into which stones were thrown seemed to precede a vertical drop of at least 20 m. After two blasting sessions on 11 January and 18 January 1986, it in fact leads to a 6 m step with a ledge littered with blocks in the middle !!?
