Description
Morphology
An impressive 5-metre-high entrance, with a stalagmitic flow of equal dimensions, places us in a gallery 1.50 metres wide; after five metres of passage the cave becomes 0.20 metres wide at the base. The back of the cavity is separated by a column.
Speleothems
A stalagmitic flow of the same dimensions as the entrance, some macarrons hanging from the ceiling, as well as a microgour that was covered by very fine sediments.
Progression
Two drops of 1.50 metres and 1 metre respectively must be overcome to reach the back of the cavity.
History
It was discovered on 15-01-2000 by Jordi Guillemot and Clara Formosa of the Centre Excursionista de Terrassa.
The name was given to it by a rocky needle separated from the crag that dominates a raised spot situated right in the middle between the avenc de l'Ú and the cova de l'Ú; this promontory is known as the Fortalesa de l'Ú.
