Description

Morphology

The entrance, half obstructed by two blocks, opens into the centre of a gallery of inclined section. On one side, after descending a few metres down a gentle ramp, the gallery ends. On the other side, after descending a 5-metre shaft, a gallery begins that is at first descending and of very irregular plan. Above the point of maximum penetrable depth and after climbing a few metres, the gallery continues horizontally after passing a crawl; this gallery is 8 metres long and 1.5 metres wide and ends by becoming impenetrable.

Progression

On one side, after descending a few metres down a gentle ramp, the gallery ends. On the other side, after descending a 5-metre shaft, a descending gallery of very irregular plan begins, by which the maximum penetrable depth -15 metres is reached. Above this point and after climbing a few metres, the gallery continues horizontally after passing a crawl.

History

The first exploration was carried out in 1958 by members of the then GIE (predecessor of the SIE) of the CE Àliga (Barcelona).
