Description

Morphology

A wide entrance that, once just passed, leads to a chamber with a high vault. After a few metres there is an upward step of about 4 metres of height difference that leads to a sloping ledge, and after overcoming another upward step, this one of about 2 metres, one reaches a short final gallery in which the ceiling lowers as we advance.

History

Explored in 1957 by members of the SES of the CE Puigmal; of this exploration there is only a reference from a brief note published in the magazine Cordada no. 27.

In 1972 the SIE of the CE Àliga carried out the only known survey of the cavity, which was not published until 1980 in vol. 5 of the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya.
