Description

Morphology

Through a short gallery between blocks one reaches, at its bottom, a narrow 4-metre pit, also made irregular by an important clastic process.

History

The only data we have are those from the “Montserrat – 1971” campaign of the GE Pedraforca (Barcelona), who explored and named the cavity Cova Alta. Shortly afterwards, members of the then Terrassa delegation of the GES – CMB also explored it and were able to reach the small pit at the far end.

We include the surveys that the two groups made separately.
