Description
Morphology
Elongated entrance of 4.5 x 1.5 metres. The shaft, with small ledges and steep ramps full of detritus from the jackdaws, reaches -33 metres; at this point we find a steep and unstable slope of stones that places us at the head of a 16-metre shaft. At the base of this we find the continuation along the NE end, first as a gallery and then an 8-metre drop. The cavity has a total vertical drop of 62.5 metres.
Hydrology
The bottom is usually occupied by a trickle of water.
Progression
This final section is only suitable for extremely thin people.
History
First explored by the ERE of CE Catalunya on 29 December 1968; they reach -56 metres. On 2 November 1969, another ERE team forces a narrow passage and reaches -62 metres.
