Barranc de Barraonse

Barranc de Barraonse is a dry canyon, typically carrying water only after heavy rains. The 1-hour approach from Escaló involves a sustained uphill climb through fields and forest, marked with purple and blue blazes, followed by a traverse to the canyon bed. The descent includes 12 rappels, with the longest being 40m. Anchors are generally good, using chemical bolts and parabolts. Notable rappels include a 30m drop with an exposed head, equipped with a thin cable handline, and a 16m rappel leading directly to the next station. No escape routes are mentioned. Neoprene is optional due to the usual lack of water. The return walk is a short 20 minutes. This canyon is suitable for those seeking a vertical, technical descent in a dry environment.
