Description
Morphology
The mouth, of small dimensions, gives way to a narrow descending crawl about 3 metres long that leads us to a ledge. From here we will descend a 16 metre pit and at its base we will continue in a W direction until we cross a descending joint. At the N end we will find a short gallery that leads us to the level -24. Returning to the mouth of the 16 metre pit and making a difficult “ramonage” along the upper part of the joint, once one reaches the W end one finds a small chamber, from which one can descend a 20 metre pit that leads to the gallery that was crossed with that of the entrance pit.
History
Cavity discovered and explored for the first time in May 1964 by members of the now-defunct Talps group of the Centre Excursionista del Vallès.
