Description
Morphology
The entrance is very irregular. It opens in the form of a pit that drops onto an inclined floor. Then there is a 2 metre drop that leads to the main gallery, parallel to the cliff and about 20 metres long. Halfway along the gallery there is a large window that forms a kind of side chamber overlooking the cliff in a steep descent. The cavity ends in a bend and a small chamber of reduced dimensions.
Speleothems
In the final small chamber small stalactitic formations and parietal crusts can be observed.
History
Cavity mentioned in the maps of Editorial Alpina since the 1960s. The GES of the CMB gives a brief description in its Sant Llorenç catalogue. In 1978 it is visited by members of the GES of the Club Muntanyenc de Terrassa, who make a more extensive account and survey.
