The entrance is of reduced dimensions and gives access to a drop that leads to a small chamber. Descending among blocks, one reaches another chamber with a flat ceiling, where a very narrow passage allows access to the bottom of the pit. The cavity forms part of a distension fissure filled by materials from the crag.
