Avenc de 15 metres de fondària a zona de Port de Compte (Guixers).

Guixers • Solsonès24m15m

A 15-metre-deep pit in the Port del Comte area (Guixers), with two entrance mouths, discovered by Jordi Francesc Vila i Boixadera and first explored on 27 August 1994.

Characteristics

Location

We will start from the Port del Comte, from the chalet on the pla de Bacies heading SE, first over grassy terrain. Little by little we will gain altitude until we reach a small col with a telecommunications hut (2,130 m). We will continue heading E, along a well-marked path. After 100 m of walking, below the path, about 2 metres away and beside a pine tree, we will find the Cova del Puig de les Morreres.

From here, if we descend heading S, first down the slope located about 100 metres from the communications hut, and then entering the pines on the left-hand side where there is a small scree slope, we will reach the avenc de Jordi Francesc Vila, located on the left and at the foot of the limestone rock wall with two entrance holes. A green paint mark on the wall will serve as a guide to find it.

The entrance is formed by two small mouths, one above the other. We will enter through the lower one, which is a little larger than the upper one, only 0.4x0.3 metres.

Progression

It follows a 12-metre pit with a small ledge and a 3-metre pit heading N; we will reach the end, although we will find a long but impenetrable fissure there.
