Description
Morphology
Its 5 x 2 metre entrance, structured along a well-marked N-S fracture, gives way to a 14 metre deep pit with snow at its base. From this point a narrow N-trending joint starts, running for about 25 metres, where after descending a small 2 metre step we reach the lowest point of this interesting cavity at -18.5. Before descending the aforementioned step and directly in front of us, an ascending gallery opens up that we can follow with difficulty, due to its dimensions, for about 18 metres until it becomes impenetrable.
History
Discovered and explored by members of the GIEG – AE de Granollers during the 1990 campaign.
