Località

It is located on the north wall of the Pedraforca. You must reach the Lluís Estasen refuge (1,640 m); from there we will take an ascending path that is recognisable by the large quantity of tree roots there are. After walking for almost 1 hour we will find ourselves at the base of the climbing routes Homedes and Pany, the latter is a third-grade route, so climbing it does not pose a serious difficulty. The small mouth of the cavity is found at the third belay station (2,190 m), in a widening of the fissure that accompanies us from the base of the wall.

The coordinates are reflected from the conversion of the Geographic coordinates based on the meridian of Madrid, given by the author of the article.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The 1x0.4 metre mouth gives access to an inclined 12.5 m pit. At the base of this one must descend down a slope of blocks 2 metres wide and after passing a narrow passage we find the last pit of -14 metres, at the base of which we find two options for continuation. On the right a step between blocks will take us to -45 metres, while on the left side we will descend down a ramp of blocks where we come across small chambers until reaching a very narrow passage between blocks; once passed, the cavity ends in a chamber at -54 metres.

Storia

It was located in 1987 by members of the E.C. Sabadell. In 1989 and after a dig at the mouth, they explore it and calculate a depth of 50 metres. Later, around 1998 the SIE del CE Àliga explores it and publishes the only known survey of the cavity.
