Location

From the Can Verdaguer urbanisation, located to the ESE of Mediona, we will ascend along Carrer Camí de la Miranda towards the small summit of the Talaia; a little before reaching the summit itself we will take the Camí de Clivelleres that branches off to the right. The uphill path leaves the urbanisation on a steep paved ramp followed by a left-hand bend.

From the bend an uphill path begins through the forest which we will follow for 130 m in a SW direction; we will arrive in front of a small cliff with its base full of blocks, we will cross the blocks in the direction of the cliff to meet again the path that climbs the cliffs taking advantage of a ramp fault. Once at the top of the cliff we will descend parallel to its edge for about 50 m to the entrance, located at the upper end of a collapse fissure.

Description

Morphology

6 m deep fissure. The small access entrance is located at the upper end of a collapse fissure. Once past the entrance, some steps and narrow sections allow reaching the base of the cavity.

Progression

Pit formed from the same generating joint as its neighbours pits no. 1 and no. 1C. The continuity is found in a SSE direction climbing the blocks up to a new collapse, at the base of which there is a narrow descending passage; following the joint, a new narrow section on an ascending ramp gives us access to a small chamber where a certain air current and the possible continuity between blocks can be seen.
