Description
Morphology
The entrance appears divided by several blocks that have fallen from the ceiling. It has a main gallery that towards the end is crossed by another one that soon ends closed at both ends.
History
Located by members of the SIS del CE Terrassa after the fire of 2003, in November 2005 Jordi Guillemot surveyed them and named them “Complex de les Falgueres” after the place name that appears on a nearby hill and which on the Editorial Alpina map is georeferenced as Coll de les Falgueres, but on the current ICGC map this place name does not appear anywhere.
This group of cavities is known in hiking circles as Coves de Coll d'Ases; the Matagalls-Montserrat route even passes right below them.
