Grotte de Vaux-Saint-Sulpice

The cavity contains a first large chamber (P10), the Grande Arche chamber and the Gilbert Savey chamber, the first large chamber of the main network. The Tarzan galleries and pits are accessible from the Gilbert Savey chamber.

The progression toward the main network, over more than 1 km, passes through lakes and meanders.

The cavity is described precisely in various issues of Spéléo 01. 2 routes can be taken in the cavity from the 1st large chamber (P10): toward the Grande Arche chamber (2 pits ending at an ongoing dig), or toward the main network (toward the Méridion gallery: small pits, then the progression continues over more than 1 km: passing lakes, meanders, climbs, low passages).

Toward the main network, the small pits giving access to the Gilbert Savey chamber follow one another and are permanently rigged. Bring a rope of 15 metres minimum and a few anchors in case a rope is damaged or otherwise.

The Tarzan galleries and pits, accessible from the Gilbert Savey chamber, are permanently rigged and allow the practice of “vertical” caving (P40 and E55).
