Approach

Take the path from the spoil mound to the ruined 'long cabana' (see full details T107). The rift is close to the path about 130m S. of the reservoir and just below the spoil heaps of T102. Alternate route from Caseton de Andara: From the refugio take the path to the Lake Depression (Pozo de Andara), at the obvious red pond (on LHS) take the track directly south and head up and over to the Long Cabana and the Sara Depression (Vegas de Andara)

Entrance
Three large and obvious openings leading into rift (though the most easterly was partly obscured by snow in July 78). The entrances consisted of short steep slopes of loose stone and mud.

Description
A mined out natural rift of about 55m and in some places reaching a height of nearly 4m. A steep loose slope in the centre of the rift leads to a 10m pitch which leads directly into T102.
