A 17-metre-deep pit in the area known as the pits of Feliu, in Mont-ral.

Characteristics

Location

From Mont-ral we will head W; once past the esplanade at the exit of the village, we find a crossroads. We will leave the path that climbs to La Foradada and the Pla de l'Avenc, and continue along the path heading NW. Once we have covered 75 metres, a path emerges on the left which we will follow in the direction of the Teix mil·lenari; this path is marked from time to time with cairns. We will come to a first fork where we continue to the right; a little further on we find a small trail on the left marked with cairns, we must follow them, as this path passes right by the base of the cliff of the Serrat de l'Avenc. We will reach a point where we must climb a steep slope formed by an accumulation of blocks; before starting the climb, to the right of the path among some blocks we find the lower entrance of the cavity, while the upper one is on the left climbing a gully.

Description

Morphology

Entrance 1 opens among a chaos of blocks. The route is made up of drops of little importance, caused by rockfalls. The vertical drop is 17.30 metres and the route is 51.10 metres.

Progression

Entrance 2 is reached by means of a “ramonage”.

Other details

The cavity is in a state that is not very advisable for exploring it, as the blocks are very unstable.

History

Explored on 28 December 1979 by the CIE (Centre d'investigacions Espeleològiques). This cavity is located in an area known by the name of Avencs de Feliu.
