Entrance is small and easily missed. A 25m shaft drops to a parallel shaft, 3m offset, and another shaft of 25m. An excavated crawl at the base enters a major level with numerous bouldery shafts. Three of these are undescended. The main tunnel is at the same altitude as that in Torca del Coterón (264).
The site was partially re-explored in 2003 and bolts for re-belays are now on the entrance pitch. During the 2003 trip, a p10 on the left of the western passage was free-climbed; the draught seemed to be coming out of the eastern passage; there were passages explored at the base of the entrance pitch that are not shown on the survey - across the top of a choked pit a rift passage can be entered which gets too tight. It could be chiselled out to enter the larger continuation beyond.
Over Easter 2007, a team surveyed 42m at the base of the entrance pitch: a passage needs enlarging and a rope is required for a 10m pitch. A sketch of extension can be found here. The survey can be redrawn when the passage 'goes'. At Easter 2009, an extension of 11m was made to this. (See batch 0413-09-01)
