Description
Morphology
The small entrance is located on a slope and has an elliptical shape of 60×50 cm. It leads to a 2.5 m pit. From the base of the pit the gallery continues as a ramp until it becomes impassable as the width narrows. Before that, however, we can climb up through a narrow passage to reach a small ledge among formations, where a descending gallery begins that ends after a few metres.
Speleothems
This entire last section is heavily covered in concretions.
Progression
The 2.5 m pit can be descended by downclimbing, but if it has rained it is very slippery and it is not a bad idea to use a small rope.
History
Despite its proximity to cova dels Desertors, it remains somewhat hidden. It does not appear on any map and there is no speleological reference.
Explored and catalogued by members of the Espeleo Club Muntanyenc Barcelonès and the Grup d'Espeleologia de Badalona in June 2020.
