Description

Morphology

The dimensions of the pits are given as an indication, for lack of a correct survey of the cavity.

Progression

Fault from above

Fixed spits are found; a few plates are missing for the rub points. A downward slope (belay yourself) leads to the belays overlooking the Fault. From the last belay, 20 m in a spider web. A continuation exists, but the unstable nature of the rock made me give up (it is still possible to do a few tens of metres of vertical drop underground; to do so, go back up the slope and come down again). Survey on request. www.canyon.over-blog.fr

The fixed climbing rope allows following the cavity's route to the lake. The classic route can be short-circuited by descending the P25 directly; the climbing rope bypasses this P25.

Other details

Some plates are fixed and are not stainless steel. They oxidize and can no longer be unscrewed. Their reliability is called into question. But it is nevertheless possible to back up the anchors. For safety, take a spit kit to place new points if necessary.
