Description

Morphology

A triangular opening 1'20x0'70 metres leads to a short descending gallery where a 17'6-metre pit begins, placing us on a sloping base that leads us to a blind pit of 6'3 metres. At the start of the 17'6 m pit, by means of a traverse, we descend a pit that places us on the other side of the blind pit, where we find a stepped pit of 12 metres that allows us to reach a small chamber at -35 metres formed by a crossing of fissures. From the small chamber, in addition to some small continuations, two galleries open, one oriented to the south of just over 6 metres and the other ascending and oriented to the south-east; after a few metres one must continue along a vertical squeeze of about 6 metres that gives rise to the terminal gallery, at the end of which 10 metres can be climbed up until it becomes impenetrable.

History

The first exploration was carried out by Rafael Amat i Carreras accompanied by people from the neighbouring Mas de les Fonts on 16 November 1924.
