Balma del Cigalot del Corb

In early February 2017 the authors of the record met, at Cambrils (Odèn-Solsonès), with Jordi Lloret. He, who over the years had been documenting rock bridges, arches or natural bridges, told them that he had news of one of these natural phenomena existing at the Roca del Corb (Peramola-Alt Urgell), more specifically below the rock shelter of la Casa del Corb and very close to a conglomerate needle of phallic shape. The next day, being familiar with the spot he mentioned, they went to the area and carried out the cataloguing work.

As for the name, it should be said that some climbers know it as Agulla del Burí, but in the area it is called el Cigalot del Corb. It seems there is an old legend which explains that as a punishment for the excessive lust of a giant who lived in these parts his penis was petrified.
