Description

Morphology

The entrance is long and narrow, 3x0.4 metres, and descends 4 metres to a ledge formed by blocks, among which one can climb down to the floor, also occupied by blocks.

Progression

There is an ascending gallery with a steep incline that ends after 8 metres of passage. Continuing in an E direction, one climbs up to a horizontal gallery, then descending among blocks until reaching a 4-metre drop. A ramp of 20 metres of passage continues until arriving at an impenetrable pit where eight metres have been probed.

History

We do not know who the first explorers were, but the first documented mention of which we have reference is that of the Espeleo Club de Gràcia, who explored and surveyed it in 1979.
