Description
Morphology
The mouth is formed by a large fissure, through the middle of which passes a path that descends from Mont-ral towards the river Brugent; on the right side of the path (SE), a pit of just over 4 metres places us on a wide base; on the NW side the gallery descends until it becomes closed; at a higher level it continues until it emerges among blocks to the outside.
Progression
Once back at the base of the entrance pit we continue in a SW direction until we reach a fig tree that grows inside and that serves to rig the next pit of about 3 metres; at the base a ramp leads to the next pit of about 3 metres followed by another of 5 metres that places us at the bottom of the cavity at -17.5 metres depth.
History
Cavity located by Pere Alegre of the Refugi Musté Recasens de Mont-ral. In early 2021 he accompanied Juli Serrano (SIE-CEA) to the mouth of the cavity; the latter returned shortly afterwards together with Montse Roca (SIE-CEA) to carry out the exploration.
