Description
Morphology
Past the narrow entrance, one enters a vertical pit of -18 metres, connected at its upper part with a small sloping chamber. The base of this pit forms a slope until it leads out at the upper part of a new vertical drop of -11 metres with a morphology similar to the upper zone, although in plan it presents a very characteristic “Z” shape, opening at its opposite end the entrance of a new vertical drop of -15 metres, where the pit ends due to the progressive narrowing of the walls of the joint.
Other details
Throughout the cavity an important clastic process is observed.
History
Explored in 1978 by members of the now-defunct Centre Excursionista de Viladecans.
