Description
Morphology
A small entrance of 0.75x1.2 metres, followed by a small corridor, leads us immediately to a chamber of 2.5x4 metres with an appreciable slope towards the N, with a low ceiling and a floor completely covered by flowstone. In the upper part of the chamber, an ascending conduit ends the possible vertical progression.
Speleothems
We will have to look for the continuation to the NW of the chamber, where a vertical fissure will allow us to progress on foot and go a few more ascending metres further in, until the narrowness and the formations close off the progression.
