Description
Morphology
The cave is at the top of a narrow chute. The entrance, just over 50 centimetres high, leads us into a single gallery 12 metres long, very narrow. At some points the cave reaches 5 metres in height, although very uncomfortable.
Speleothems
The left wall of the gallery is quite decorated with stalagmitic flowstone.
Progression
You must get over an earthy rise about 3 metres high. To make the ascent easier, three steps have been cut into the earthy wall.
History
Someone had spoken of this cave to Xavi Badiella, but it was not located by Jordi Guillemot (SIS-CET) until 19 November 2000. It was explored the following week and the survey was carried out on 31 December 2000; it will therefore remain as the last cavity discovered in the past millennium in Sant Llorenç del Munt.
