A cavity formed by a small entrance pit, a steep and narrow meander, chaotic descending galleries and a rivière souterraine (underground river) disappearing into a flat-out squeeze, with a final section of water-washed shafts.
Descrizione
Morfologia
A small entrance shaft continues into a steep and narrow meander that gives access to a junction. The two ascending galleries are quickly choked while the descending, chaotic gallery widens noticeably. It is cut by a small down-climb and has upper galleries of limited extent. Then, a little before -70, the gallery narrows. Very winding, the inactive meander leads by a series of steps to the final portion of the cavity, composed of a pretty P41, followed by a few down-climbed steps and a P 21. The base of this shaft is flooded and was sounded to -6.
Idrologia
The meander is followed by a pretty little river that unfortunately disappears into a sharp and very narrow flat-out squeeze.
Progressione
A little before -70, one must climb a few metres in opposition on the right to regain the meander. It is by a short climb, just after the flat-out squeeze, that one regains the inactive meander.
Altri dettagli
Remark: the marmorised limestone in which the cavity develops is beautiful but forms sharp blades that can be dangerous, particularly in the verticals.
