Description
Morphology
Through a horizontal crawlway below a rock one reaches a 3-metre-deep drop of irregular shape with an ascending floor. After a few metres we are at the entrance of a second drop, this one 10 metres deep, with flat walls that widen as we descend. The floor is nothing more than the start of a descending gallery 21 metres long, where successive accumulations of blocks form two drops of 1.5 and 2 metres respectively. The gallery continues until it becomes impenetrable at -24 metres, at a drop where 8 metres more have been probed.
History
Unobstructed by CE Molins de Rei in 1977.
In 1982 Toni Asensio carried out the only known survey of the cavity.
The cavity remained practically forgotten due to its difficulty of access; it was not until 2014 that Tassja Römhild, a resident of Fontpineda, located the cavity and got in contact with the EspeleoÍndex team, to facilitate its location for them.
