Torrent de Coll de Pal

The Torrent de Coll de Pal, or Estrets de Can Boix, is located near Sant Martí de Surroca. The 20-minute approach from Coll de la Caritat involves following yellow markers up a ridge, then tracks to the streambed in front of Can Boix. The canyon is typically dry with water in pools at the start. The descent begins with a 5m rappel from a tree into a thigh-deep pool, followed by a 7m rappel from another tree into a shallow pool. Two downclimbs lead to the longest rappel, an 18m drop with an intermediate pool. A 4m rappel from a rock bridge and a 5m rappel from another rock bridge follow. Anchors include trees, rock bridges, and parabolts with rings. Two 20m ropes are needed. The return is a quick 15-minute walk.
