History
The first records of visits to one of the cavities located inside this great fissure correspond to Dr. Francesc Español, carried out in 1934 for biospeleological purposes. In 1965 the Grup Espeleològic Terra i Mar (GETIM) of Sabadell explored the avenc dels Tigres (pit), the avenc del TIM (pit), the avenc Besora (pit) and the avenc del Vent (pit). Later the ERE of the CEC between 1977 and 1980 carried out a meticulous inventory of the cavities located in this fissure that would be published in the magazine Espeleòleg no. 34-35. During 1979 the Centre Espeleològic Cervelló carried out the exploration of various cavities of this fissure, with the aim that they be published in the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya (Borràs-Miñarro-Talavera), this led to giving a new name to some cavities. The espeleoÍndex team have considered it more appropriate to use the naming of the cavities made by the members of the ERE-CEC, since it is a more complete joint work. This same line regarding naming has been used by Jordi de Valles in the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya (4).
