Caratteristiche

Località

The parking area for accessing the cave is at the penultimate bend before reaching the summit of Mont Caro. You leave the road heading south. There is no clear path but you must walk until you cross the mountain ridge. We can enjoy incredible views. It is 400 metres to the pit. Along the way we can visit the entrances of CP.4 and CP.6. We continue descending until we find a cliff that we must get past by descending a gully that we will find on the right. About 50 metres further on is the pit, behind some large blocks.

Descrizione

Morfologia

From the start the cave is marked by narrow sections, but the P.35 at the very bottom makes the visit worthwhile. We can divide the cave into 3 fairly distinct parts. The first comprises the pou light and the pou semi-light. The first is a 13.5 m pit that is descended in opposition and the second a P.8. From here, the second part begins with a descending route between blocks that leads us to the third part, with the head of the P.10 m. Once at the base of this we pass between blocks and reach the head of the P.35 where the cave widens notably. At the base of the P.35 a narrow joint begins that leads to the point of maximum depth (elevation – 114.3).

Progressione

The pou semi-light is a P.8 in which we will belay with a 15 m rope and 3 carabiners. At the base of the P.10 we pass between blocks rigging a vertical handline to protect the progression. At the fractionation following the Y it is advisable to place a sling or footloop to facilitate progression. To descend from the head of the P.10 to the base of the P.35 we will need a minimum of 80 metres of rope and 13 carabiners. The cave is entirely equipped with bolts with 10 mm stainless steel plates. The activity in its entirety can take around 4 or 5 hours.

Storia

After the first searches in the lower area of the barranc de Cova Pintada, begun in 1985 by members of the Espeleo Club Tortosa, prospecting continued in the higher area while looking for possible connections with the CP.1. The third of these finds was the CP.7. It was explored at the same time as the CP.4 and the CP.6 during the year 1987. It was finished being surveyed in October 1987. In 2023 it has been re-rigged on the occasion of the 2nd Trobada Vallinera als Ports.
