Location

The most advisable approach is from la Morera de Montsant, climbing by the grau de la Grallera until reaching the Serra Major; from there we will go to find the path that leads to the Comellar de l'Os, we will continue along the ridge leaving on the right the path that descends to the Comellar, continuing until reaching the channels where we will find some cavities, following a very faint trail we will arrive at a flat area that is full of dolines and furrowed crags, right above la Bitlla. Skirting la Bitlla, the fissures that furrow it at its base become evident. This is the most important of all of them, located frontally to the barranc del Vidobar.

Approximate coordinates without much reliability.

Description

Morphology

The entrance opens beneath the wall of la Bitlla. Already at its base we find an accumulation of blocks that must be climbed up to a small chamber. In the upper right corner, through an unobstructed passage it continues to a drop of -6 metres, where the direction changes abruptly. From here and through various almost perpendicular fissures one can progress to the limits of the human body.

Progression

A current of cold air is noticeable coming out of the high, narrow fissure through which we descend in opposition.

History

Explored by the GELL in 1997.
