Descrizione
Morfologia
The narrow, earthy, tube-shaped entrance descends as a one-metre ramp, until we find the opening in the rock. Once past the rock lintel we will find a fallen block, which forces us to crawl one more metre; past this point one can stand upright for the rest of the cavity. From the very start the cave descends with a ramp of some six metres and turns slightly to the right, ascends over a sediment cone caused by the materials fallen through the entrance of the pit. At this point is the maximum height of the gallery ceiling. Once down the sediment cone we find some meagre formations; here we find a new ramp that ascends some four metres and that takes us to the other end of the gallery. We also find at this point, low in the sediments, a gallery to the right of some four metres in length. The gallery ends in two large collapse blocks.
Addendum: As for the pit, it is impracticable due to its meagre dimensions; for this reason we do not include its measurements in the total height difference of the cavity.

Storia
Located by Jordi Guillemot at the beginning of 1998 during an excursion in which he observed that air was coming out of a small hole; a few weeks later, specifically on 21-03-1998, he himself found the minuscule entrance (12X35cm) of the pit. Later, accompanied by the Barquinero brothers, they cleared the earthy entrance of the cave. The connection of the pit with the cave was verified by throwing stones from the upper entrance, which ended up in the gallery of the cave.
