Torrent del Cingle Roig o Cap de Balç

The Torrent del Cingle Roig or Cap de Balç, near Sant Llorenç de Morunys, is a dry, vertical canyon with 7 rappels, the longest being 39m. No wetsuit is required. The 45-minute approach involves driving on a paved track, then hiking up a GR path, crossing an electrified fence, and finally going cross-country to the torrent's start. Discretion is advised due to nearby houses with dogs. The descent begins with a 15m rappel over slippery, loose ground covered in leaves. Anchors are parabolts, with the first rappel using a cord with a chain link. The canyon is characterized by its verticality and dry nature, making it a technical challenge rather than an aquatic one. Equipped with parabolts, the canyon requires two 45m ropes. The descent takes 2 hours, with a 20-minute return walk. There are no escape routes, so commitment is high.
