Description

Morphology

The passage measures 1 by 0.8 metres. Immediately afterwards we can make out a second mouth on the right-hand side that approaches the cliff. The passage in front is quite narrow and low. On the left one can progress crawling to a passage that turns to the right. This gallery meets another that cuts it perpendicularly and that leads to the outside through a third mouth. Among these galleries we have been able to see a small network of passages that communicate with one another, some of which are impossible to access given their narrow dimensions.

Progression

We access the cave by a small step.

History

Quite well known by the climbers who did activities in the area, but until the year 1991, following the discovery of the cova d'en Paca, this hole was also explored, next to the climbers' path. Exploration carried out by members of the SIS del CET in 1991 and surveyed in 1992.
