Description
Morphology
The mouth gives access to a gallery in the form of a joint where the floor descends in a gentle slope with some small stepped rise, while the ceiling rises quickly. On reaching the lowest point the gallery rises again, in this case steeply while the ceiling becomes lower, until reaching a point where on the right a perpendicular gallery comes in to us. If we continue straight along the passage we were following, after about four metres it turns to the left and ends two metres further on. Following the passage on the right we must overcome a rise with a block that forms a narrow passage and we find a junction of joints; continuing straight the gallery rises a few metres and ends, if we follow to the right after 4 metres we find ourselves in front of a shaft of -7 metres that leads to the lowest point of the entrance gallery.
The height difference is 9 metres (-4m/+5m).
History
It is quite evident that the cave was already known and must have some name, since it is located just below the climbing route “Ploms” in the Penya Roja area, and specifically at the base of the Cingle dels Pins Alts; moreover, the path used by climbers passes by the mouth of the cave. The fact of not having found any documentation about the cavity and that the questioning of climbers who were in the area had been negative, we have opted to provisionally give it the name that corresponds to the place name of the location where the cavity is found, awaiting someone who has more information to provide it to us.
