Barranc de la Llenguaeixuta por Grau de la Xota K1
The Llenguaeixuta canyon is a dry route, typically without water, with a 45-minute approach from Capafonts. The access involves a track, then a path leading to the Grau de la Xota K1, a simple traverse with fixed ropes, a cable, and a staple. The descent includes three rappels, the longest being 21m. The first rappel (21m) has somewhat recessed chemical anchors, making rope retrieval tricky, and features an overhang section. An escape route is available early in the canyon, following a parallel path. The second rappel (13m) has a somewhat hidden and oxidized anchor. The route requires two 25m ropes and no wetsuit. The return walk takes 30 minutes.
