Upper part of Valdediezmo Valley. Follow the Valle de Valdediezmo from the dam in the Sobra Valley. Continue for about three kilometres, until you reach the tree line. About 250m beyond this is a large, grassy bowl, beneath a group of cabanas.

Entrance

About 100m before you reach the grassy bowl, ascending the valley, there is, on the left hand side, an obvious fissure

Description

A pitch of 10m descends to a fissure, floored with boulders and animal bones which chokes after about 25m.
