Riglos "Caving in? The roped Rabada

Cave Lady , Cave Cave Pure and Palomar are perhaps in that order, the most famous caves Riglos. Whoever comes out and see for the first time think it's very optimistic the name "cave" to what is nothing more than a coat or a "cavern", but that's the word also used in other cavities in the vicinity such as the Cave d'you Chitanos (or gypsy) in Agüero or the Caves of the Queen of Vadiello.

The Cyrillic on the basis of direct Puro, the Blanchard between the knife and Frechin, that of Petoste of Cored ... are other caves Mallos produced by the geological characteristics of typical cluster Riglos. Being mere holes on the wall, some nevertheless have a magical aura and fanciful, even though the mystery has not transcended much; Carlos Gutierrez in the book Mystery of Aragon Guide contains the belief that there is a cave in the mesh which is a gateway to another dimension of time, this "cave time" some common area located in the mall the Magdalena, being clearly visible from the trail of small mesh that goes to the source of the Clergy. In any case, those who have gone there after a short climb must not claim to have felt any translation into another era. Editorial: Charlie responds to my request for help on this issue and brings his knowledge. " The story of the door to another dimension and had heard many years ago in a late-night radio, those type fourth millennium, but placed it there (I think) in the Summer Circus, between the Fire and the Ram ... "

The type of rock gives way to a rather narrow, almost" spelunking. " When Jordi Panyella chronicled the rise of the chimney that bears his name, and spoke of the narrows that had to happen, viniéndole to mind the resemblance to the caves. Montaner and Rabada also passed on the penultimate hard time over the cookies to go through the stone built and Rabada He even had to remove clothing in order to advance the Chemequeos Tube in the Way of the dihedral.

However, although I have not been able to locate on the ground, and took quite some time looking and wondering, it seems that there are some potholes in the vicinity of Riglos that in the mid-50's caving aroused little interest among climbers who frequented the mallets. Desgracidamente, caves should not be a big deal and now its location and specifics have been lost or are very difficult to find. Yes it is possible to read maps references "Cuebas carasol ", "O Galocha d'or Tiu "" Cuebas Bera "or" Eagle Cuebas "in the vicinity of the mesh size, including" A crippled Cuebas "near Marcuello Castle, but it appears that none of these caves they refer to something the slightest interest in caving.

The oldest information in the climbers refer to the caving in Riglos found in the tribute they did to Victor facet after his death at the fourth attempt to Puro. As a reminder, Riglos step, his fellow mountaineers of Aragon made a slide show that featured all the activities developed in the climber the mallets; among them the decline held on August 4, 1949 in a pit to a depth of 60 meters.

is curious, however, that a connoisseur of these walls as was Rafael Montaner, does not seem to be aware of the fact of declining Victor Carillo and in an excellent article published in 1957 on the escalating mallets, making an activity for a famous Catalan climbers roped in as the first activity in Riglos caving.

" During Easter 1955, the rope Torras - Nubiola, Barcelona, \u200b\u200bmakes the 3 rd to Pure and inaugurate a new activity Riglos: caving. Descend and explore the chasm near the village, about 20 meters deep, chisels of mud and gravel, also recognizing other caves in nearby mountains "

these two figures are striking. On one hand, assumes that JM Torres and J. Nubiola are the first caving in Riglos, although Montaner undoubtedly knew the history of veneers. On the other hand, surprisingly, also gives information that there were other caves in nearby mountains, but without impinging on them.


And do not stop there caving explorations . Building also Easter, when Montaner relates what happened in 1956, explains that new groups are admitted to the alleged depths rigleras publishing the following comments: " At Easter, a group of Madrid and Barcelona, \u200b\u200bexploring a chasm in the mountains of the Fils which is deep enough for what is normal in conglomerate beds."

As noted, the description of the modest caving activity that was made in the mesh are not only attracted attention by the novelty that it was, but contrary to the detail of the pious in the escalation, are omitted here all kinds of technical details and location of the cavities. In the latter case at least we focus more on shooting and we know that exploration, successful as we read, happened in the mountains of the Fils.

As always, we appreciate contributions to this issue.
