Avenc dels Tormos

Avenc de 12 metres de fondària a La Morera del Montsant.

Morera de Montsant, La • Priorat41m12m

A 12-metre-deep pit at La Morera del Montsant, explored by the GE Lleidatà in April 2005.

Characteristics

Location

Going along the path of the Castells, which comes from the bottom of the ravine, it goes into the ravine of the Bufador de l'Aferamot and winds along the left looking for the path of the Pla de l'Escoté. Once on the path that levels out towards this plateau, we will look at the visible ridge that delimits the ravine descending from the right of the Castells. We will climb it up the middle and will have to look for a small opening a few metres below the ridge, on the right-hand side. The avenc dels Tormos is a few metres above and in the middle of the ridge, below a tormo. Approximate coordinates.

Description

Morphology

The opening, practically obstructed by a gigantic block, was finally cleared with a mallet and punch. It communicates with a fairly wide pit of -9.5 metres. At the bottom on the right, we descend a couple of metres to a corner lit from above by a tiny opening. On the other side we will advance along a ramp, on all fours, until we find a short gallery with a jointed form that is closed off immediately.
