Caratteristiche

Località

Small rock shelter at the foot of a cliff in the Serra de Sant Joan. From Coll de Nargó we take the L-511 road towards Bóixols; it may be a longer route but it is in good condition. Shortly before kilometre 20 we turn right onto the track that comes from Montanissell. We see the majestic wall known to climbers as the Planxa Vermella, scored by fractures and some quite prominent subvertical faults. On reaching a left-hand turn-off closed with a chain we leave the vehicles parked on the verge. Approximate coordinates, without much precision. Not mentioned in the reference note.

Descrizione

Morfologia

Small rock shelter only 7 metres deep, whose ceiling and walls are blackened by the smoke of the fires that would have been lit inside it in past times.

Progressione

Afterwards about 300 metres must be climbed from the track, up a steep slope and scree (a good hour of ascent with gear). At the foot of the wall, between scree and large fallen blocks, there are some small rock shelters, of which only the one provisionally called the balma or Espluga Fumada was drawn.

Storia

Documented by members of the group l'Espeleodijous, who visited it in May 2017 during the approach to the Espluga dels Maquis.
