Description

Morphology

A small opening in the form of a cave (it opens along a stratum) leads to a short ramp that drops into a 7-metre pit; a new ramp then places us before another 5-metre pit. From this point the joint becomes very narrow, although among blocks one can descend a few metres until reaching -23 metres, the point of maximum penetration of the cavity.

History

Cavity first explored in the early sixties of the past century by members of the GIE. A photograph provided by Eugeni Marigot (+) made it possible for the SIE to find it again.
