Description

Morphology

Widened fissure in the rascler, narrow and elongated, which descends only 2.60 metres in depth. It possibly does not deserve the name of pit.

History

Located by Lluís Muntan (GES - CMB) in 1978, a group of small rascler holes, the first three (Jaume, Paloma and ITA), were painted with these names and with the inscription: 1973 Espeleo Club de Sabadell (Jaume); ECS (Paloma) and only with the name (ITA). The rest were named by the same Muntan. Years later, the one called de la Carena 2 was painted with the initials: ERE 92. At the end of 1993 members of the ERE-CEC explored and surveyed the Avenc de la “Paloma”.
