Avenc Nº2 del Camí del Teix

Petit avenc a Mont-ral

Mont-ral • Alt Camp11m6m

Small, undocumented pit in Mont-ral, located near the avenc del Camí del Teix.

Characteristics

Location

From Mont-ral we will follow the camí de la Foradada, which passes through the Serrat de l'Avenc. Once past the avenc de l'Os and further on the turnoff to the avenc del Teix, we will find a path on the right (ETRS89 X:339688; Y:4572438). We will follow this path for 250 metres; at this point, on the left of the path, we will find a depression in the terrain where, inside and close to the foot of the cliff, is the avenc de la Pipa. We will continue along the path and soon find a landslide passage where there are some planks with a handrail rope that facilitate the passage; a few metres further on we reach the junction of the path that comes up from the Teix mil·lenari, we will continue to the right downhill, halfway down and before the path becomes flat we must go to the right, where some large blocks are visible, among which is the cavity. This is located 67 metres before reaching the avenc del Camí del Teix.

Description

Morphology

The entrance, less than one metre wide at the end closest to the path, is elongated and widens as it moves away; at this end a 2-metre drop allows access to the interior, while at the other end the pit is about 4 metres deep. The 7X6 metre base, sloping and divided by some blocks, places us at the deepest point at -5.5 metres depth.

Progression

A 2-metre drop allows access to the interior, while at the other end the pit is about 4 metres deep. We also find a tree that emerges from inside the cavity and that allows us to use it to descend.

History

Small undocumented cavity; very probably, and due to its proximity to the avenc del Camí del Teix, we assume that its explorers must have known it.
