Description
Morphology
The entrance of 2.55 x 7.82 metres gives way to a gallery oriented towards the SW, but which immediately turns towards the W. The gallery begins with a slope of 29º that gradually softens until reaching -6 metres of depth; here begins a gentle slope climbing until reaching the end of the gallery, which maintains throughout its course regular dimensions of 5 x 6 metres. At this point it is necessary to climb a couple of metres to access a short conduit that ends in a narrow crawl, but the gallery rises to +14 metres of height. The total elevation change is 15 metres (-6/+9).
History
This cavity had been explored by J.M. Victoria in 1965 and cited in the magazine Montaña no. 100. In all later catalogues including the most current ones, this cavity is wrongly placed in the municipality of Conca de Dalt in the comarca of Pallars Jussà, instead of the municipality of Cabó in Alt Urgell, which is where it is really located.
