Descrizione

Morfologia

The entrance funnel is quite vertical and cluttered with dolomitic sand. Initially in a joint, the shaft widens as it opens at the top of the collapse chamber carved into the limestone level. The whole is very impressive but stable. A final passage at -41 m allows one to leave the scree zone for good and gives access to the top of a chamber extended by a small semi-active gallery of very fine morphology. Unfortunately it ends at -60 m on a narrow, clayey joint.

Progressione

At the bottom of the chamber, one must squeeze into the small vertical step between the scree and the wall, without going to the very bottom, to find the key passage at mid-height that will lead to the continuation. In fact, we move about among very large blocks, going from one wall to the other, looking for the most obvious passages.
