Description
Morphology
A funnel-shaped depression 6 metres deep. At its base, a 14-metre shaft leads to a 9-metre-long floor; at its northern end, a short series of drops leads to -25 metres depth.
Progression
Once the first bend has been passed, it is found 10 metres from the road. The funnel-shaped depression 6 metres deep leads to a 14-metre shaft that leads to a 9-metre-long floor; at its northern end, a short series of drops leads to -25 metres depth.
History
Discovered by the workers of a sparry calcite quarry and first explored by Faura i Sans, Farret, Parellada, Mir, Ràfols and Mariameta on 20 July 1910. On that same day they also made the first exploration of the nearby avenc d'en Parellada or de les Cometes (also renamed years later as dels Ossos and del Pont), today disappeared due to the construction of the bypass of the coll de l'Ordal road.
