The entrance is covered by blocks which must be replaced. A 28m pitch, 8m
wide, drops into a passage with nice formations - much of the roof being
a "forest of straws". The western arm chokes after some 50m; the eastern
arm slopes up to a crawl and a draughting choke. The crawl has been excavated
to Zorro Zorrito Aven. The draughting crawl continues below the aven
needs excavating.
Explorations occurred during the summer of 95. The right hand lead went for 25m, in two directions, but closed down. The strongly draughting lead on the left was excavated through calcite at the top of a 2m climb to 1m wide passage and another dig through calcite in a 12cm wide route which again closed down.
