Description
Morphology
Through a mouth about 3 metres high one enters a flat gallery whose height decreases until at 10 metres from the start it narrows. The total length is 35 metres.
Hydrology
It seems to be an old spring that would drain the waters of the Serrat de les Garrigoses.
Progression
At 10 metres from the start the gallery narrows and one must overcome a small ascending step that leads to a short gallery where two ascending conduits originate, of the fusiform chimney type. The first, and wider, reaches about 10 metres in height; the other is of more reduced dimensions and rises about 7 metres.
History
Although they must have been known for a very long time, the first references are given by the members of the GEP – AE Pedraforca (Barcelona) during their campaign in Montserrat in 1971.
