From here, head for the ridge between the fondo del Rascler and the one descending from the coll de la Bena, losing height. In the very middle of the ridge is the entrance, quite visible.

Description

Morphology

Consists of a shaft 7 metres deep with an average width of 1.5 x 3 metres. The base is formed by an accumulation of fallen rock sloping towards the SW, where a window opens communicating with another hollow, blind and about 5 metres of vertical development. At the bottom we can still follow a few metres along a very narrow horizontal passage. Typical rascler cavity excavated along a NE-SW joint.
