Storia

During the summer 1977 campaign, in view of the poor results obtained in the Cuns d'Aulà area, where the members of the Société Spéléologique du Plantaurel and other collaborating French groups (T.A.M.S.; A.S.M.P.; G.S.O.T.) had been exploring since 1975, they decided to go to the other side of the Noguera Pallaresa to inspect the massif they had seen from Aulà. That year they located half a dozen cavities and explored some of them; the first is the one they called EA.1, which they had located on 16 July.
