Località

The group is found at the upper part of the Palomera crag, which is bounded on the east by a spectacular and extensive chaos of blocks known as 'Rocs de Palomera' or 'Els Graus'.

The most comfortable access is from the Pleta de la Vila. From the viewpoint of this spot, we can contemplate the Rocs de Palomera and the crag above which the fissures have formed. From the Pleta de la Vila to the fissures it is about half an hour on foot.

Descrizione

Morfologia

It is a complex network of fissures generated at the foot of the crag. There are fissures of different lengths and widths; some are isolated, but a good part of them connect with the other fissures of the network. Although a good part of the fissures are aerial, there are also many subterranean sections.

The accompanying sketch shows only the most visible fissures, but there are many more.

On the other hand, in the area there are many fissurings. We come across them as we follow the crag towards the east.

Progressione

Movement inside the fissures is very complex: we find wedged blocks, as well as shafts, small shafts and narrow passages that make the exploration very athletic.

Altri dettagli

The speleometric data are estimated. The total route will exceed 500 m and the vertical drop is approximately 65 m. A complete exploration and topographic survey of the whole group remains pending.

Storia

The first known speleological reference is from the explorations carried out by members of the Espeleo Club de Gràcia and the Grup d'Espeleologia de Badalona during the years 2008-2009.

Ferran Cardona (ECG) provides a brief note that is published in the Catàleg Espeleològic de Catalunya (2009).
