Description

Morphology

It has a large entrance 2.60 metres wide by 4 metres high.

Progression

On the right, an ascending gallery leads off and ends after about 4 metres; in the ceiling a passage connects with the upper part.

On the left we will climb up beside a large slab that forms the ceiling of the gallery already mentioned. We will continue climbing for about 4 metres and overcome a step (+1 metre). At this point, we are above the slab. Going forward, at 2.80 metres, the gallery reaches another hanging entrance (P-2.30 m); this gallery is about 0.90 metres wide by 2 metres high. If from the previous point we go to the right above the slab, we will find on our left a double ascending gallery, with a low ceiling, which ends at 4 and at 3 metres of passage respectively.

History

Its discovery, together with the other two nearby ones, came about as a result of a prospection in the surroundings of Aiguafreda, carried out by members of the GE Badalona in October 2010.
