Description

Morphology

Access is via a practically vertical tube of 0.9x0.5 m, which previously had to be cleared of blocks. At about 2 m depth, the direction changes and descends along a less steep ramp; in this section a tight tube passage 0.3x0.5 m high leads to a final 1.4 m step where the cavity ends.

History

Cleared and explored by M. Mañosa, J. Navazo and J. Navarro in June 2017.

Later, in May 2024, it was located by the colleague Josep Guarro and at that time a provisional record was made as Avenc B-5, practically without data, which is now replaced by the current one.
