Walk 20

pg 125: Following the sentence 'The climb continues for half an hour to reach an unsuspected patch of scree with a fig tree growing in the middle of it.'

After ascending the scree the path turns left to climb for some 10m towards the base of some undercut cliffs before turning definitively right onto a clear path. The way now becomes increasingly hemmed in by cliffs and pinnacles until it narrows to a cleft, with two wooden ladders leading up over the top to provide the only exit.

This is the Escarrisó de Borosa and it is reached some one hour 20mins from the start of the walk. A further 10mins of climbing on a clear path leads on to a grassy plateau and up to the shapely rock pillars of the Coll dels Morralets. Turn left here for Cova Ebre and Pallers following a red painted arrow on the back of the first pillar.  About 10m further on there is a rock on the right hand side of the path with a metal signpost plate. The route carries straight on here, through woodland, towards the Cova Ebre and Caro
