Description

GS Vulcains - 29/12/2019

An obvious 7m high entrance in a cliff face with an easier entry by one of the two shaft entrances in the hillside above. Belay to a tree backed up to an adjacent tree for a free hanging 9m descent to the main chamber with a dusty floor covered with bird and bat guano. This gently slopes down to the large open entrance overlooking the valley. Two narrow rifts at the top of the chamber become too narrow after 5m.
