Descrizione

Morfologia

The cave begins with a 9-metre pit (15-metre rope) that leads to a block-covered ledge in a joint that widens eastward to form a small chamber. To the west, a passage beneath a slab regains the vertical joint forming a P 13 (20-metre rope). A new 7-metre pit with short drops emerges at -34 in a small chamber. The descent continues through a few opposing moves followed by three successive short drops (R4, R3 and R3) that lead into a temporary stream following a fault that widens upward. After 30 metres, a large calcite flow obstructs the passage at -52. This last section contains several chimneys, one of which has not been fully climbed.

Concrezioni

A large calcite flow obstructs the passage at -52.

Idrologia

The first temporary active stream flows in a gallery dug along a bedding plane (30° south dip). The cavity is probably part of the catchment area of the Caulière spring and, in flood, of the Vignevielle vent.

Progressione

The P 13 (20-metre rope) is done as an exposed opposing move. The 7-metre pit with short drops is also descended by climbing (equipment recommended).

Altri dettagli

Geology: Upper Devonian limestone. Intense corrosion has shaped numerous sharp blades throughout the cave.
