Description
Morphology
Small entrance of 0.70x0.75 metres with the floor on a slope, which in less than 2 metres drops us into a shaft of -15 metres depth; the shaft, at its point of maximum width, comes to have a diameter of 1 metre; it is structured on a very narrow joint of N-S direction. At 2.70 metres before reaching the bottom of the shaft, the joint widens slightly on the N side, this passage being very narrow and reserved only for especially slender physical constitutions. From this point 5 metres can be descended, coming to stand on a sloping and somewhat wider base.
Progression
The first exploration was carried out in August 1966 by members of the GIE of the Club Excursionista de Gràcia. Currently (2012), although quite worn, the painted inscription with the name of the cavity is preserved. The information given by the first explorers referred to an elongated entrance, with a shaft of -18 metres; in reality the entrance is 0.70x0.75 metres and the shaft is only -15 metres. We do not know whether there is any possible continuation from this point since, due to the narrowness before it, it has not been possible to gain access.
