Description
Morphology
It is a large fissure opened in the same direction as the outer dihedral, thus forming the pit, with the two lateral branches always in the form of a joint, both ending at -38 metres of depth.
Progression
To reach the -21 level one must scramble down until finding the aforementioned galleries. The one running E, after some narrow passages and small steps, reaches -38 metres. The one running O begins with a 20-metre pitch, and at its base continues along a narrow 70-metre-long joint, thus reaching the maximum depth of the pit, at -65 metres.
History
Discovered and explored by the GIEG of the Agrupació Excursionista de Granollers in 1979.
