As this classic deep pothole was rigged for the caving conference we thought we�d best do at least one trip in there. It took us quite a while to find the entrance as we missed one of the smaller paths heading across the limestone pavement. The entrance series of pitches down to the big Puits Aldo pitch resembled more of a cold alpine cave with slippery meanders in between the pitches. After the pitches we walked through the (dry) Lac Cadoux although there were boats there just in case it rained. From here the cave turned into more impressive proportions as we entered the Galerie Petzl and onto the Salle des Treize (Hall of Thirteen). This was all fairly easy going cave passage. We ended our trip at the Le Vestiaire (about -650m) and the start of the wetter sections. The way out was surprisingly easy considering we were so deep into the cave.
