Description
Morphology
The outer opening is just over 2 metres long by 1.5 wide and leads to a shaft with a drop of 2.5 metres. At the end of its base, on a slope and with a small step, one reaches a vertical fissure, narrow enough, through which a new shaft of 7.6 metres is accessed. At the bottom of this shaft, the pit remains totally filled with clastic detritus.

Together with his cousin, Rafael Amat i Carreras, and a friend, with only a rope they went to explore it on 28 August 1923. It was the fifth trip of the first campaign led by Amat i Carreras in the Garraf massif.
