Avenc Muntan-bordas

Petit avenc de 12 m. de fondària al Serrat de la Morella (Garraf)

Begues • Baix Llobregat16m12m

Small 12 m deep pit in the Serrat de la Morella (Garraf), formed by a single 11 metre shaft.

Characteristics

Location

Going along the Campgràs track to the Morella, once past the bed of the Fondo de les Terradelles (boundary of the landfill), on the left are the ruins of the old Campgràs corral. From this point you must climb up along the line of maximum slope in the direction of the radio installation located at the easternmost end of the Serrat de la Morella. About 80 or 100 metres from the corral we will find a very visible aladern and just above it is the entrance of the Avenc Muntan-Bordas.

Description

Morphology

Formed by a single shaft 11 metres deep, with an oval section and a diameter that never exceeds 2 metres. At the bottom, a small pit that immediately becomes impenetrable is the point of maximum depth and in a corner a narrow chimney and a small lateral pit develop.

History

Discovered by Lluís Muntan while searching for the Avenc de la Fulla, which that day they did not find. The following week (27 March 1978) they went with a sledgehammer (the same one they had used years earlier to open the Avenc del Mall) and opened the entrance. On 1 April 1978 they made the first exploration: Óscar Andrés, Lluís Muntan and his two children (Rafa, 8 years old and Elena, 13 years old) who that day made their first descent into a pit.
