Description

GS Vulcains - 01/01/2020

The entrance is a 5m diameter shaft rigged from an overhanging tree. The 10m entrance pitch lands in daylight on a sloping boulder floor from which a clamber over large boulders leads to an awkward 15m sloping pitch in a rift. A short descending passage leads to a 14m diameter circular chamber rock floored at the top but sloping down to silt and guano banks which block all possible ways on.
