Location

The approach can be from the grau de l'Escletxa or from the ermita de Sant Salvador following the path to the ridge; once there, follow the path towards the Cogulla, and at the height of the Punta Alta del Boter we head off going around the corners found below. Once on the other side we descend a little and find the fissure.

Approximate coordinates without much reliability.
