Espluga del Codó Llarg

Single gallery about 16 m long, with a rounded section that loses diameter as one advances. The vestibule allows us to stand upright but the sediments soon fill the gallery.

The sediments that have been removed have a height of 30 - 40 cm; there are some stones but almost all the material is a very fine dust.

The rappel is about 30 metres, but a 60 m rope is needed. There are spits and parabolt anchors; at each re-rigging we must keep deviating to the right, we did this to protect ourselves from falling stones.

At first a channel was started to pass through lying down, but whoever advanced pushing the material aside had a very hard time; afterwards progress has been made by emptying the entire width of the gallery.

The vestibule was quite full of dry excrement, they almost looked like stones. A single bone was found and on top of the sediments, there was a piece of worked wood.

This is the problem that slows the work: one only needs to disturb the sediments a little and a cloud of dust forms that makes it impossible to breathe, despite the masks.
