A draughting, descending rift that required excavation. The streamway that was encountered chokes and, according to a blog dated 28/11/21, a draughting route was still to be looked at.
Further explorations occurred in August 2022, documented in the Cambera blog. There is no published complete description, but "the topography shows a result to date of 280m with a practically constant inclination of -30°. The lowest level of the cave is -83m, located where the small water course disappears and the main axis of the cave runs west."
Further, unsurveyed, extensions were made on the second trip in August, but the blog finishes on a pessimistic note, with little to entice the explorer to return. However, exploration, photography and survey (and 2 blogs) occurred in July 2023 taking the length to 455m and depth to 135m.
A blog entry dated 15th July documented exploration down 2 pitches in "Grandpa's Poop Room". On the left, a clean shaft of about 10 metres with a base covered with blocks. A few metres from its head, it communicates with the other shaft through a narrow and uncomfortable opening. Sliding between them, a passage gives access to another wet shaft, which was left pending. Along the main route, a long "downclimb" and a small handline has been installed to be able to approach the head of the next shaft. At the base there is a small gallery and a new wet shaft.
The 2023 reference contains survey data in a table as well as the survey, drawn and in 3d format. The 2022 Cambera reference has an earlier drawn survey.
