Description
Morphology
Circular entrance among some large blocks; in one of them there are some parabolts. About two metres below we will find on both sides of the wall two belays to choose from for installing the main head of the 95-metre-deep shaft. At the -25 metres level we find a small ascending passage and at -29 metres there is a ledge that skirts a large part of the shaft; the rest of the shaft is almost smooth, except for a small passage located at -63 metres, which is accessible by performing a pendulum. The base of the shaft is full of blocks, a large part of them coming from the exterior.
Progression
The parabolts serve as a handrail and first installation for the rappel. About two metres below we will find on both sides of the wall two belays to choose from for installing the main head of the 95-metre-deep shaft. The small passage located at -63 metres is accessible by performing a pendulum.
History
Located by a resident of La Palma de Cervelló (Antoni Fuentes) who communicated it to some speleologist neighbours of his, whom he accompanied at the beginning of the month of July 1983. It was necessary to clear the entrance and return the following week to finish the exploration since they did not have enough material.
