A cavity whose entrance, near LP35, opens through a small window in the north wall of a small snow pit and descends through passages, narrows and shafts to -71 m.
Description
Morphology
The window gives access to a small passage that plunges at about 45°. After a first narrow section, one reaches the top of a small 2 m step protected by a second narrow section.
A pretty shaft 3 m in diameter follows. It is entirely empty for 15 m, then the descent continues by successive stages against the wall for 7 m. A vast ledge and a very short meander give access to a very fine P37.
One lands on a ledge at -68 m. The shaft continues a few metres lower (-71 m) as an impenetrable meander. From the ledge, a small parallel shaft allows one to descend to -68 m. Two tiny impenetrable meanders let a little draught through.
