Esquerda Gran de la Cornaleda

Avenc d'11 m de fondària al Montsant (Ulldemolins)

Ulldemolins • Priorat126m11m

An 11 m deep pit in Montsant (Ulldemolins), explored by the GELL around 1996.

Characteristics

Location

From Ulldemolins you must go to the hermitage of Santa Magdalena, from where a path leads to the Pi de la Carabasseta. Once at the top we follow the ridge in the direction of Margalef, passing through the Grau del Llop and the Punta dels Pins Carrassers, until reaching the point where the range begins to drop, which are the Cornaledes; the approximate time of the route is one hour and 10 minutes. Once we have arrived at the Pla de les Cornaledes and are situated at the Forat del Bosc, we must follow the ridge of the right slope to a small cliff where the cavity opens, just before the path of the range.

The crack-shaped entrance gives way to an easy drop to descend by opposition and downclimbing among blocks, finally reaching a long gallery with a high ceiling. Continuing on flat ground one reaches a junction of galleries, which can be followed for a few more metres.
