Description
Morphology
The circular entrance less than one metre in diameter gives access to a stepped shaft 18.5 metres deep.
Progression
The first 8 metres are descended comfortably; from this level we find a narrow passage that is easy to pass, where there is a small rock bridge.
History
In the winter of 2006, after a heavy snowfall, José Antonio el Yuyu and J.G.Montilla, members of EspeleoCorb and GES Terrassa, observed a small hole in the ground from which a large amount of vapour was coming out; after removing a few rather large blocks, a circular shaft appeared, and they returned the following week to finish the exploration.
