Location

From the Campgràs doline we will follow the paved track in the direction of the rubbish dump of the vall de Joan. A few metres before the asphalt ends there is an esplanade where the Telefònica hut used to be.

We cross the esplanade in a S direction and climb up onto the flat. We continue in a SSW direction for about 180 metres and we will see on our left a doline full of vegetation. At the bottom of the doline, at its NNE end, the mouth of the pit opens.

Description

Morphology

The mouth is 1.8 metres at its widest part, which gives access to a narrow shaft of 8 metres; the base of this is on a slope and communicates with a shaft of 3 metres where the cavity ends.

History

Discovered and explored by members of GES-CMB on 22 February 1953, during a trip of visits to other pits of the Campgràs.

They gave it this very strange name, which apparently was the word they called one of them (Jaume Assens) at school.
