Description
Morphology
The entrance, a short slope, communicates with a small chamber which, through a low passage between blocks, allows us to reach a gallery 3 to 7 metres wide, with a flat roof, which descends following the dip of the strata. The floor is full of fallen blocks and slabs, until they block the continuation of the gallery at -14 metres.
Progression
We can cross this chaos of blocks in two places. On the right, to the E, we will find a passage between the debris that will lead us to a conduit of more modest dimensions and quite muddy that ends at -30 metres of depth, becoming impenetrable. If we continue on the left, to the W, we can climb up the blocks until we reach a small round chamber, we will climb down a 3-metre rise and among the debris we will find the previous conduit.
History
The first exploration of which there is any record was carried out on 21 February 1993 by the GERS of the AE Muntanya.
