Avenc de 10 metres de fondària a zona de Port del Comte (Guixers).

Guixers • Solsonès22m10m

A 10-metre-deep pit in the Port del Comte area (Guixers), 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.

We will continue along the path to the ridge of the two slopes, that of the Segre and that of the Cardener. We will descend along the ridge, first with a gentle slope, passing two small stepped spurs until we reach a large rocky spur with a pine tree on top. We will get past it better on the left, descending with caution since the slope is steeper. We will find two more spurs further down.

On the left spur with a pine tree on top we will find the avenc de Marc Solé.
