On the flat area below and between Samelar and Verdiones. An obvious surface rift.

Entrance

A rift 10m x 3m

Description

A twisting shaft approx 70m deep. The pitch is 10m to a ledge then a further 10m to the top of a snow ridge. Following this down to the left gives a short drop of 5m and more snow, which gives way to another pitch, making the total depth about 65m.

A 5m drop in the rift at the side of the snow plug is the end.
