Description
Morphology
Pit 12 metres deep at the Coma de Gelis (Camarasa).
Progression
At 2 metres from the entrance there is a first 4-metre drop which, after a brief passage, becomes impassable; continuing forward without descending it, one reaches the terminal shaft, which becomes progressively narrower until it becomes impassable at -12 metres.
History
The first exploration was carried out by the GELL on 23 April 1967. In the first catalogues it was exaggeratedly attributed a depth of 30 metres.
