Avenc Sc-33

Petit avenc de 10 metres de profunditat a Gisclareny.

Gisclareny • Berguedà16m10m

Small pit 10 metres deep in Gisclareny, with an entrance 3X2 metres, a 6-metre shaft and a 9-metre slope.

Characteristics

Location

The most practical route is to go up the forest track that leads to Murcurols and the coll de la Bena. On reaching the esplanade where the ruins of the Murcurols farmhouse are found, one must cross the torrent del Clot de les Faves, which is the nearest one, and skirt along to the upper part of the crag. The cavity opens in the middle of a beautiful holm oak wood, very characteristic for the thickness of the tree trunks.

Approximate coordinates without much reliability.

Description

Morphology

The 3X2 metre entrance gives way to a 6-metre shaft. The floor forms a pronounced 9-metre slope, until emerging through a wide portal onto the crag, this one heavily concealed by the presence at this point of a leafy tree.

Progression

Once the shaft has been descended, one can access, by means of a delicate traverse, a gallery in the form of a horizontal tube about 6 metres long.

History

The SIES located it visually from the Monnell track in early 1988, but it was not until 7 January 1989 that, after making a fine climb on the crag, they reached the upper part of it and, by means of a traverse, arrived at a shaft that connects with the cavity.
