Description

Morphology

Once past the small entrance mouth, one enters a gallery about 20 metres long and 5 metres high at its highest point. At its end it gains width thanks to a lateral concavity, turns about 45º to the right and the floor begins to rise noticeably, gradually gaining horizontality while the ceiling lowers until it becomes impassable, reaching at this point +10 metres of height relative to the entrance. Shortly before the end and on the right a small side chamber develops, with a low ceiling and about 4 metres long.

History

Explored by the GE Olot in 1972.
