Description
Morphology
Cavity located beneath the great balma de Roca Gironella, in which the flowstone has fractured, leaving behind this appreciable chamber. This block of flowstone blocks much of the entrance to the cavity, but on its NE side a wide passage allows access to the chamber from the base of the waterfall. The hall has large blocks on the floor and a small absorption shaft. At the S end of the cavity, a second narrower passage communicates with the outside on a balcony over the waterfall.
Progression
Another viable option, but more complex, is to rappel from the great balma de Roca Gironella, located just above, and access via the roof platform.
History
Known since time immemorial.
