Description
Morphology
A narrow mouth opened artificially in a small hollow in the rock gives access to a 9-metre pit with wide dimensions and a regular structure. At the base, an opening between flowstone gives way to a slope of stones that leads to a rounded chamber half-filled with blocks. In its ceiling two small and curious continuations of limited development open up.
History
Unblocked and explored on 4-1-1992 by Toni Asensio and Pedro Valdepeñas, at that time belonging to the GIRES of Sant Esteve Sesrovires.
Our colleague Josep Guarro informs us that in October 1980, in the company of his friend Xavier Fernández, when they were just beginning the practice of speleology, they tried to locate the Avenc del Pèlac and during the search they found a small pit which they proceeded to explore. At that time they were very young and very thin and they were able to squeeze inside despite the narrowness.
The photos that accompany it are testimony that it was what would later be catalogued as avenc de la Penya.
