Barranc de les Anelles
The Barranc de les Anelles, located near Céret, is a highly aquatic canyon with 7 rappels, requiring a full wetsuit and two 30m ropes. The 20-minute approach involves walking up the road and then descending a zigzag path to the streambed. The first rappel is 25m, with a cable handline to the anchor. It can be fractionated, and from the ledge, there's an optional 12m jump. Note that some installations may be cut, requiring careful assessment. Further descents include a 7m rappel down a slippery ramp, a 5m rappel (often downclimbed), and an optional 5m jump. There are three escape routes available. The return walk is 30 minutes.
