Description
Morphology
A long fissure full of vegetation gives access through the highest part of the fissure to a 13-metre shaft, followed by a further 6-metre drop that leaves us at the start of a short ramp that leads us to a further 3-metre drop, followed by a new ramp and another drop of just over one metre, a new ramp leads us to the lowest point of the cavity, here an ascending ramp begins that ends in a chaos of large blocks, shortly before reaching the end of this ascending ramp, we find on the ground a small pit of just over one metre that forms a small chamber among the blocks.
Once at the base of the entrance shaft, we find a gallery that, following the fissure in an easterly direction, leads us through a narrow passage between blocks and vegetation to the outside, on the cliffy part of the ravine.
Progression
The cavity was rigged with 2 fixed 8mm parabolt anchors at the head and 2 multimontis at the shafts, which have been removed.
History
Explored by the SIE – CE Àliga in November 1972. A survey was made but it was never drawn up and was lost.
Some 30 years later, our friend Floren Fadrique (SIE – CEA), on one of his biospeleological research outings, was able to locate it and visit it, providing fairly approximate location data.
In October 2019 members of the SIE of the CEA and of the ERE of the CEC located and surveyed it.
