Location

To the N of the village of Rúbies, on the left of the portella Blanca. From the village a cavity can be seen hanging on the crag, where it is possible to reach thanks to a ledge also visible from Rúbies. At the point where the ledge becomes accessible, and 25 metres above, the entrance of the cavity opens, after a climb without complications. Approximate coordinates without much reliability.

Description

Morphology

The cave-shaped entrance gives way to a chamber that at its eastern end lies at the foot of a 3.5-metre ascending pothole; once overcome a short crawl follows that leads to a second small chamber, which at one end remains open in the middle of a fissure at the bottom of which the end of the cavity is reached. The total depth is 15 metres (+13/-2).

Progression

From the village a cavity can be seen hanging on the crag, where it is possible to reach thanks to a ledge also visible from Rúbies. At the point where the ledge becomes accessible, and 25 metres above, the entrance of the cavity opens, after a climb without complications.

History

Partially explored by the GELL on 20 April 1969, where it is given a depth of -25 metres and a length of 75 metres, evidently exaggerated. Again the GELL, on 17 February 1980 explores and surveys it.
