Description

Morphology

Formed by a single ascending gallery 17 metres long by 2 metres in average width, with a height of 4 to 5 metres at the beginning, decreasing as one advances.

History

The exploration was carried out around the year 1970, probably by the SIRE-UEC Gràcia, among whom was Pau Pérez, who provided the data for the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya (1978).

On 30 April 1978, during a campaign carried out by a collective of French groups in the serra del Cadí, they explored the cavity again under the initials SoC2, and they also record in the report that inside the cavity they found the initials SIRE-Gràcia painted.
