A high slot next to the Foradada de Montserrat, between the Ignasi Capeta and la Foradada needles.

Characteristics

Location

To reach it we will set out on foot from the rest area located above Km.3 of the BP-1103 road from Marganell. We will go up the path that starts in front of the rest area and climbs until meeting the Can Maçana path (GR-172) at a distance of about 500m. We will take the GR in the direction of Can Maçana for another 550m; at this point, having already passed the turnoff to Coll de Port, we will leave the GR to climb up the bed of a right-hand stream to the base of the Gallaret, Ignasi Capeta and Foradada needles; the slot is found in the fissure between the Ignasi Capeta and la Foradada needles.

Description

Morphology

Cavity generated by the displacement between two needles, creating a significant fissure that reaches approximately 20m in height.

Initially the fissure has a steep open-air access ramp up to the point where the roof of the cavity begins. At its start the fissure is a little more than one metre wide and is practically flat; as we go deeper it loses width while at the same time increasing in steepness.

Progression

Two drops of about 2m and 3m respectively must be overcome to reach the innermost point of the fissure, where the roof becomes impassable.
