Description
Morphology
Through a large entrance one enters a gallery divided in two by the remains of a separating partition. The final section is slightly descending until it becomes impassable.
Descending the cliff gives access to an upper entrance that, through a shaft with inclined walls, emerges a few metres beyond the lower entrance.
Progression
From the upper part of the cliff a rappel is set up to access the cavity. The overhang can also be accessed by a somewhat exposed traverse.
Other details
From the sedimented floor, and on the surface, several fragments of pottery were collected which, by their typology, may date from the Neolithic to the Middle Ages.
History
The first data we have are those provided by members of the SIE – CEA who explored it in August and October 1983.
In early November 2023 members of the Espeleodijous, informed by Jordi Álvarez, a climber who knows the area well and thinking it was an unpublished cavity, visited it and updated the data and location.
