This site is marked by a tree on the western side of the line of depressions. This is the deepest straight drop in the area, deeper than Sima del Cueto (041). Marked 212 and, on a rock face at the top of the pitch, M-49 in large green letters.
The green marks were painted by the Sociedad Espeleológica Alto Duero who explored the site later than the 1980 descent, naming it Sima M-49. A 7m climb up at the base leads to a choked p26m. Confusion with positions resulted in site 1785 being created. There is only one 164m pitch - here at site 212.
