A 27 m deep pothole in Balestui (Gerri de la Sal), formed by a NW-SE trending joint, explored and surveyed by members of ERE – AEC on 27 July 1976.

Caratteristiche

Località

About one kilometre from Gerri de la Sal in the direction of Sort along the N-260 road, we will find the pont del Comte and just after crossing it, on the left, an asphalted track begins that climbs towards the small village of Balestui. Once past the houses, on the right of the track we will find three limestone outcrops that stand out in the form of ridges and rest on a sandstone base. Going up the middle one by its left flank we will reach the mouth of the cavity.

Approximate coordinates and poorly explicit location.

Descrizione

Morfologia

The cavity is formed by a NW-SE trending joint.

The entrance is by a ramp followed by a 5 metre pitch. At its base there is a debris cone that reaches 16 metres further down forming a ramp of 43º inclination, all of it covered by a large quantity of leaves from the vegetation surrounding the mouth. After 7 more metres of gallery covered by clastic materials, another ramp begins with a 37º inclination and 10 metres of length, ending in a final horizontal stretch 9 metres long also covered by blocks and which end up collapsing the fissure.

Progressione

The entrance is by a ramp followed by a 5 metre pitch in which material must be rigged.
