Description
Morphology
A 15 metre shaft leaves us in a 1 metre wide and about 8 metre long fissure. Going down the ramp we reach the maximum depth of -17 metres.
History
On 14 and 15 August 1964 five members of the ERE of the AEC (Tomàs Deu, Miquel Pagès, Jordi Agustí, Salvador Pijoan and Joan Armendàriz) head for the Forat d'Estela, but they make a mistake and pass by the Roca d'Auró where the cavity is located and end up at the Rasets; here they find a first cavity which they name “Cim d'Estela” even though this peak is quite far from the place in question.
The cavity was obstructed after a few metres, and while they try to clear it one of them went for a walk around the area and returned saying that he had found another cavity; they leave the clearing and explore this new cavity which they name Avenc Fred and which is none other than the Bòfia de Rasets.
On 25 and 26 May 1969 the SIRE-UEC de Sants carries out a prospection in the Rasets area and locates various cavities; they return on 22 to 24 June of the same year, setting up a camp next to a cavity which, unlike the other nearby cavities, had no name painted at its entrance; they named it “Avenc del Campament” and proceeded to clear it; coincidentally it was the same cavity that the ERE of the AEC had tried to clear years before and had named “Avenc Cim d'Estela”.
The ERE of the AEC returns in July 1970, when among others they explore and survey the cavity, which had been cleared the previous year by the SIRE-UEC Sants.
In 2005 members of GE Badalona explore and survey again various cavities in the Rasets area; to complicate things further, they rename all the cavities with the initials “R”; in this case the name they assign to it is “R.1A de Rasets”.
