Descrizione
Morfologia
A rectangular entrance, completely covered by vegetation, leads to a pit 7 metres deep with a ramp at its base. Towards the E, the fissure descends between blocks down to a flowstone that must be climbed up to a crawlway that connects with a small, heavily decorated chamber, followed by an upper passage that connects with a pit 10 metres deep. Halfway up the fissure it is possible to climb up over some blocks and reach a very chaotic zone which, once passed, leads to the start of a lower level through a ramp of blocks. Back in the upper section, the fissure continues to climb until reaching a point only about 12 centimetres wide, through which it connects with the avenc de la Cuca, although the passage is completely impassable. From the bottom of the entrance pit, in the opposite direction to the previous one, one reaches a pit of about 5 metres, which on one side is closed off after a ramp and on the other gives access to a small chamber, with a low ceiling and covered by blocks. Further on there is a pit of 9 metres followed by a 45º ramp, and through a narrow gallery one reaches a new impassable pit that could only be sounded.
Concrezioni
A small, heavily decorated chamber.
