<p><b>Altitude</b>: 1610m<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<b>Location</b>: NE of point 1895m (<span lang="de">Hangender Kogel,</span>
|
|
|
|
|
NE face).<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<b>Depth</b>: -854m to 3 sumps, a predominantly vertical system.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Down to -287m the cave is made up of shortish pitches interspersed with
|
|
|
|
|
tight meandering passage : p8, p12, p17, p9, p20, p3, p12, p30, p7, p6, p9,
|
|
|
|
|
p8, p7, p5, p34, p6, p8, p5, p9. At -287m, an 18m pitch drops into a large
|
|
|
|
|
chamber. The water disappears in the boulders to reappear in a whole series
|
|
|
|
|
of wet pitches of which the longest is 30m. Floods impeded exploration at
|
|
|
|
|
the bottom of this branch: at -456m a pitch of about 20m was definitely too
|
|
|
|
|
wet to be descended. At -488m a low passage was also too wet. Moreover, the
|
|
|
|
|
draught there was weak or absent.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In the chamber at -308m, a reascent of about 15m gave access to a fairly
|
|
|
|
|
wide fossil canyon which blew a detectable draught. After 30m, this passage
|
|
|
|
|
opened onto the enormous <span lang="fr">Puits de Naufragés</span>
|
|
|
|
|
(The Castaway's pitch), with a cross section of 15 by 25 metres and 242m
|
|
|
|
|
deep. Near the bottom of this pitch, several inlets appeared to come from the
|
|
|
|
|
first branch explored. The bottom of the pitch contracted to a joint-guided
|
|
|
|
|
rift, exploration in 1976 ending at the head of a pitch estimated at 40m.
|
|
|
|
|
(Depth 587m).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The cave continued predominantly vertical in 1977, with pitches of 54,
|
|
|
|
|
88, 53 and 25m to two siphons at -854m. The altitude of these sumps is 756m
|
|
|
|
|
- the valley level.
