Description
Morphology
Entrance opening of 11 by 3.5 metres. Then it drops vertically down to 18 metres, ending right in the middle of a ramp. Through a small passage between some blocks, you reach a small chamber 11 metres long by 3.5 wide and 6 metres high.
Hydrology
Old swallow hole of the torrent that could be related to the spring of the Caus del Guitart.
Progression
Currently (June 2026) the passage to the small chamber is completely blocked, not because the ceiling has collapsed, but because the floods have washed the sediments from the ramp downwards. (Data from the visit carried out by members of the Espeleodijous on 18-6-2026)
History
The first news of this pit dates from 18 January 1920, when members of the Centre Excursionista de Terrassa carried out the first exploration. There is no further news for fifty years, and it remained unknown to everyone. On 5 July 1970, and after three days of prospecting, it was located again by members of the SIS of the CE de Terrassa, who explored it on the following 11 July, completing the corresponding record card and survey.
