Location

Leaving the village of Escunhau, follow the track that goes up the Bargadèra ravine until reaching the plèta dera Lana; from there, continue up the ravine until reaching the estanhot d'Escunhau. Above the lake there is a narrow limestone strip running E to W, which intersects the dominant granitic materials. GB-1 is located at the end of a scree slope ending in a doline that descends from the highest walls in the area. Approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

Small 8 m deep pit.

Progression

Access is via a 3 metre drop followed by a steep ramp between blocks and snow that ends 14 metres further on. Normally it cannot be entered until late summer, as snow almost completely plugs the entrance.
