A narrow, vertical cavity whose descent, rigged with a rope of about 15 m, leads to a clay-filled joint bottom.
Description
Morphology
The entrance is a narrow, vertical joint. The descent is narrow, and one arrives in a joint bottom guère plus wide (scarcely wider; one metre maximum) with a clay floor, cluttered with a sharp, curiously cut blade. A small descending start is coated with clay.
Speleothems
One lands on two blocks in front of a constriction, decorated with speleothems, opening onto the shaft. Higher up, small decorated niches can be reached.
Progression
At the bottom, step over a blade, and begin the downclimb, narrow and slippery (mondmilch, "cascade of roots"). One lands on two blocks in front of a constriction, decorated with speleothems, opening onto the shaft (rigging: rope of about 15 m, natural anchors).
