Location

The cavity is located in the Morella area (Garraf). From the Campgràs doline one must go up the road towards puig Ginebró, where the “bola” of the radioelectric installations of the serrat de la Morella is found. On reaching the last crossroads after the steep climb, we will head in direction E10S for 99 metres, the point where the cavity is found; after 45 metres of route we will already make out the whole slope, where various cairns are visible, among them that of the avenc del Roc (data from 2012). The cavity is located 12 metres to the NW of the avenc de la Lira.

Description

Morphology

In reality there are two entrances, but one is obstructed. The shaft is inclined and at 2.50 metres we find a block coming from the exterior in a somewhat precarious balance. At the base -9.50 metres, two verticals of 1.50 metres open, only one of them being practicable.

History

The discovery and first exploration was carried out in March 1957 by members of the speleology group of the Centre Gimnàstic Barcelonès (years later SAS del CGB).
