Description

Morphology

A narrow, cleared entrance leads into a chaotic gallery between blocks in precarious balance, which makes its exploration dangerous. The total drop is 8.4 metres (-2.4; +6).

Progression

At the end it climbs back up to +6 m, the point where prudence made us give up continuing.

History

While searching for the almost unknown fissure no. 3, which seems to have disappeared in a landslide, members of the Espeleo Club de Gràcia (2013) managed, by means of a clearance, to gain access to this cavity.
