Description
Morphology
The entrance is half blocked by a wedged block. It gives way to an ascending conduit with a steep gradient; the average inclination is 55 degrees. It is a narrow conduit, excavated in bare rock, which at its upper part narrows until it becomes impassable, reaching the level +11 m. Halfway up the main conduit we find two other horizontal conduits, which lead out to the crag, although the exit hole is very narrow. Total length, 22 m.
Progression
The average inclination of 55 degrees forces us to climb by scrambling.
History
The caves were discovered, some years ago, by Ramon Ricart, a former forest ranger and a good connoisseur of the mountains of northern Berguedà. It was Ramon himself who accompanied members of the ECM Barcelonès and the GE Badalona to the caves in order to carry out the studies and surveys for their cataloguing.
Bio
The dense undergrowth of box trees is completely defoliated by the action of the box tree moth, Cydalima perspectalis.
