Matadepera • Vallès Occidental20m11m

Small cavity with a 20 m passage and 11 m depth in Sant Llorenç del Munt, with a lower entrance 8 m high and a drop of about 7 m.

Characteristics

Location

From Can Bufí (or Bofí) take a path along the N side that climbs toward the carena dels Ginebrers, following the canal del Forn del Cargol. Shortly before crossing this torrent we can see on our right some cliff walls just a few metres from the path we are following. It is on this cliff that we will look for the lower entrance of la Foradada, barely 50 metres from the path.

Description

Morphology

The lower entrance appears to us as a cave of elongated form, about 8 metres high by barely 1 metre wide. A second opening hides on the lower left side of the main entrance. A heavily eroded pit appears toward the blue sky. The drop is about 7 metres, with a small ledge on the N side. From outside, we observe the cavity as a magnificent eroded entrance and a tempting drop.

Everything suggests that it is nothing more than the remains of a pit that the retreat of the cliff has stripped of its lower part.

Progression

Climbing a few small ledges with a couple of wedged rocks, we reach the base of the drop of la Foradada. We can slip up into the cavity, first taking a few steps between the two walls of the cavity and then moving toward the N side of the rock, among the wild vegetation.

History

Members of the SIS del CE Terrassa located it in 1988. Around 2005 the Masó brothers of Terrassa made the description as a climbing route. Shortly afterward X. Badiella (SIS-CET) made the record and survey of the cavity.
