Description
Morphology
The cavity is formed by a network of joints parallel and perpendicular to each other and connected inside. It is possible to enter through the first and exit through the last; it has a length of 54 metres and a vertical drop of +6.5 metres. The connection between the two networks is made by means of a short crawlway; halfway along it an impenetrable hole can be seen through which the outside light of another access with a strong air current is visible.
History
Located by members of the SIS of the CE Terrassa after the fire of 2003, in November 2005 Jordi Guillemot surveyed them and named them “Complex de les Falgueres” after the place name that appears on a nearby hill and which on the Editorial Alpina map is georeferenced as Coll de les Falgueres, but on the current ICGC map this place name does not appear anywhere. This group of cavities is known in hiking circles as Coves de Coll d'Ases; the Matagalls-Montserrat route even passes just below them.
