Description
Morphology
Small pit 17 metres deep. The entrance measures 12 x 2 metres on the West side. Once at floor level, one follows the fissure towards the East, descending down a pronounced ramp that will lead us to a crouched passage, preceded by a small drop that is quite easy to descend. The fissure continues in a descending direction until it becomes flat and dies out in a narrow, stony crevice that escapes our presence.
The cavity does not end entirely here. One can climb back up through the fissure, taking advantage of the curved section of the walls, and continue about 5 metres further to a small chamber, quite comfortable and high.
Progression
One can descend a 5-metre drop and one also reaches the bottom of the entrance shaft via a large rock wedged halfway down the shaft that facilitates access by means of a curious caper.
History
Known for a very long time by some monks of the monastery and mentioned in some old maps of the mountain. The first visit we know of is by the GES of the CMB in February 1963. Other members of the same group relocate them and make the survey in October 1976. All these data remain unpublished, until the SIS of the CE de Terrassa, after various attempts, find them again in December 1989 and make a careful study that they publish later.
