Caratteristiche

Località

From la Riba along the TV-7044 road towards Farena, after km 3, a small parking area appears on the left below the youth camp. From this point, a path crosses the Brugent river, leaving the Moli de la Font Gran on the right; we leave a path towards la Riba on the right (signpost) and, following the main path, we come to another junction, which we follow to the right, passing by the avenc dels Tres Grans and del Xalau. Then we come to a new junction which we follow along the left-hand path towards the Penya Roja (signpost Penya Roja-Cingle dels Pins Alts). We find a rope on a small rise; a few metres past this, we turn right in a N direction for some 30 mts through the weeds, where the mouth of the pit appears beneath a large block.

Descrizione

Morfologia

Pit 23 m deep. Once past the mouth, one enters a gallery with a steep gradient and a 3 metre drop that descends to -12 metres, the point where the entrance to a narrow 5 metre shaft opens, followed by a fissure that opens at its bottom, inside which there is a continuation in depth consisting of a 3 metre drop where the cavity remains collapsed by blocks.

Storia

On 21-3-2026 Juan Luis Benitez Rosado and Josep Mª Plana Roca (Bin), GIEM-CEM Montblanc, rediscovered and explored it again.
