Forat de la Dolina

Avenc de 18 metres de fondària a la Morera de Montsant.

Morera de Montsant, La • Priorat41m18m

A pit 18 metres deep at la Morera de Montsant, explored by the GELL in 1997.

Characteristics

Location

The most advisable approach is from la Morera de Montsant, going up through the grau de la Grallera until reaching the Serra Major; from there we will look for 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 the pla de l'Escoter, in the very middle of which an important depression can be seen, following it all the way we will find quite a few entrances formed by boulder collapses, with no further story. On one edge of the depression, the entrance opens in the form of a fissure structured in a fallen rocky area. Approximate coordinates without much reliability.

Description

Morphology

Pit 18 metres deep. The entrance opens in the form of a fissure structured in a fallen rocky area, broken by some blocks.

Progression

Passing the entrance broken by some blocks, we descend rapidly in the same direction 3 vertical metres, reaching a cleared blowing passage, which allows us to descend a drop where it is advisable to use a rope, placing ourselves in a comfortable chamber with no continuation in the lower part. Climbing about 4 metres, we see the continuation to another chamber, where one arrives by means of an earthy and unpleasant downclimb, where any possibility of continuation ends.

History

Explored by the GELL in 1997.
