Description
Morphology
The two entrances separated by 12 metres give way, after a vertical drop of 12 metres, to some inclined shafts that lead onto the lower gallery of the cavity, about 5 metres wide.
Progression
The lower gallery connects at one end with a descending passage that reaches a long and narrow joint that maintains the same direction; this is crossed by many perpendicular joints and after some small vertical drops it reaches a depth of -85 metres.
History
Explored on 19 and 20 March 1966 by Sas, Pagés, Amat and Auroux of the SAS of the CGB. They returned on 12 and 19 February 1967 to carry out the survey.
It was initially cited as avenc del Pòdol, as well as cited as Pòdul; it seems that the correct name is Púdol.
