Location

The cavity is located on the cliff face that begins at the Puig Terrers and turns towards the E, where its buttresses end near the springs of the Bastareny. It hangs on the cliff but with easy access. Once at the upper part of the cliff and about 600 metres before reaching the pas del Gran Booffet, we will descend along a vertiginous path that will take us to a small balcony from which a bauma can be seen that serves as a shelter for the Isards. About 10 metres before reaching the bauma we locate the cavity. Approximate coordinates without much precision.

Description

Morphology

Cavity of tectonic origin, opened along a vertical fault. The diaclase-shaped mouth gives access, by means of a rock bridge formed by the accumulation of blocks in precarious balance, to a gallery in an ascending direction.

Hydrology

At the final part of the gallery drips from infiltration can be seen.

Progression

It is necessary to get over some quite unstable wedged blocks to access the interior.

History

Located and explored in August 1992 by the SIES d'Esplugues de Llobregat.
