Description
Morphology
Consisting of a first shaft of 16 metres. At one end of the base of the shaft there is a small step of 1.5 metres where the cavity ended. A clearance (2006) has made it possible to overcome this passage and enter a new shaft of 6 metres that connects with a gallery where there is a chimney that almost reaches the surface level. Further on it forms a false upper floor and the sloping gallery ends at 30.5 metres of depth from the entrance.
Speleothems
At about 10 metres of descent, a small gallery originates with a great profusion of fine stalactites.
History
Discovered and explored around the year 1958 by members of the SES – CE Puigmal (Barcelona). In June 2006, members of the SES – GE de Ribes (the Serrano brothers, alias the Daltons), manage to force the initial bottom and explore the new galleries.
