Description

Morphology

There are two cavities opened in the same stratum and at a very short distance from each other. The smaller one has a short gallery of 4 metres of route until a narrowness, continuing through an uncomfortable tube of a few metres; in the ceiling there is an upper gallery of difficult access due to its small dimensions, this ends in an accumulation of blocks after a short ascending route.

History

Cavity explored by the SEO del CE Vallirana during the nineties of the last century.
