Descrizione

Morfologia

The cavity opens through a small orifice followed by a vertical 4 m step in a joint that leads to an earthy inclined plane, which drops into a fine 25 m shaft, circular at first, then in a joint from -9 (5 to 7 m long by 3 wide). At -33, one lands on large wedged blocks. The cavity continues always in the same joint through a series of rather unstable steps. The last shaft (R 5 in blocks, then an 8 m vertical) is choked at its base by rubble, at elevation -55. Above its start, the joint continues upward for 15 to 20 m (dimensions: 5 x 4 m).

Let us return to the unstable ledge at -33. Going back up the other way, one reaches the start of a fine 24 m shaft, narrow at first, then of fine dimensions, choked at -57 by gravel (lowest point of the cavity). A free climb of 7 m leads to a small ledge, at the base of an ascending chimney visible for about fifteen metres.

Let us now return to the 4 m step just after the entrance. Going up the earthy slope facing the orifice, a constriction gives access to the start of a 23 m shaft in a joint that opens into the main joint, above the start of the P 24. At the start of the P 23, a traverse in the joint to the left (South-East) leads to a short gallery cut by a 4 m step that is easily descended by climbing, but its base is obstructed by large blocks.
