Small pit 6 metres deep in the S of the Pla de Sot d'Óssos, explored by Toni Asensio and Pedro Valdepeñas and later by the Espeleo Grup de l'Hospitalet de Llobregat.

Characteristics

Location

In the S of the Pla de Sot d'Óssos. From the road leading to the power station, we will turn off onto the track heading towards the avenc Gran de les Alzines and the Pla d'Ardenya; just past the first right-hand bend in the track, it will be necessary to turn off onto the track on the right until reaching the electricity tower where the track ends. From here we will go down to the torrent that begins below this tower; a few metres further on and in the middle of the torrent the mouth of the cavity opens.

Description

Morphology

It is a single shaft 5 metres deep that leads into a chamber 4.5 x 2 metres. The floor is occupied by large flat slabs; we find a tiny passage below one of these slabs that takes us to -6 metres.

History

Explored in the middle of the 90s of the last century by Toni Asensio and Pedro Valdepeñas, at that time belonging to the CE Vallirana. Shortly afterwards, at the end of the same decade, it was explored by the Espeleo Grup de l'Hospitalet de Llobregat; they named it with the initials H-6, and with the name avenc del Fondo. This meant that it appeared published both in the catàleg Espeleològic del Massís de l'Ordal and in the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya (vol.6), as if they were two different cavities, when in reality it was the same cavity.
