Characteristics

Location

In the N of the Rascler hill (Garraf). From the Campgràs one must go up the road leading to the summit of the Rascler until reaching the avenc del Mall. A few metres further on, to the right, a small path leads to the doline where the avenc dels Reis is located. From its E end one must head NW climbing slightly and, a dozen metres before a faintly marked torrent, the pit is found. Bearing to “la Bola”: 59º.

Description

Morphology

These are two different cavities, 2 metres from one another. The first, which we suppose has given it its name, is a regular opening half covered by a large block and totally choked. The second is a narrow shaft, opened artificially, which according to data from the Editorial Alpina catalogue should reach 6 metres in depth.

Progression

There was no way of getting through the second cavity, nor even of sounding it.

History

Cited by members of the SES – CE Puigmal (Barcelona) who explored and named it around 1959 and it appears located on the maps of the Editorial Alpina. J. Borràs does not even include it in his Garraf catalogue.
