Description
Morphology
A low, wide entrance gives access to a small cavity full of rubble.
Progression
To the left and down a drop between the blocks, one can descend to the lower level, which becomes impassable after 2 metres.
History
The first exploration was carried out by the GELL on 14 November 1965. In the early catalogues it was attributed a length of 44 metres. Years later other members of the GELL explored it and named it Cova de l'Aresta de Gelis; the similarity of the location as well as that of the coordinates and the description suggests that both are the same cavity.
