Small 14 m deep pit in the Adons area (Alta Ribagorça), known as Lo Graller.

Characteristics

Location

From Senterada a track leads to Adons; before reaching it there is the small hamlet of Corroncui. The pit is located to the N of this point and, as Oleguer Escolà comments, not far from one of the towers of the power line that passes through this area (les Esplanelles, according to the ICGC).

From its entrance, the line of sight to the summit of Sant Gervàs is 210º.

Approximate coordinates to be reviewed.

Description

Morphology

It has two entrances, one of 0.80 x 0.50 metres and another impenetrable one in the upper part.

Progression

Through the lower entrance one enters a single 12 metre vertical shaft and at its base there is a short inclined ramp that leads to the point of maximum depth.

History

Known since remote times by the people of the region, who simply call it Lo Graller.

The first exploration was carried out by M. Ubach, O. Escolà (ERE - CEC) and J. Lloret (S.E.I.I.) on 19 November 1978.

It has subsequently been visited many times by X. Fresneda in his work of collecting cave fauna.
