Avenc de l'Esquena d'ases

Petit avenc de poc més de 6 m. de fondària a la riera de les Arenes (Sant Llorenç del Munt)

Mura • Bages10m6m

Small pit just over 6 m deep in the riera de les Arenes, in Sant Llorenç del Munt.

Characteristics

Location

Follow the riera de les Arenes in its upper stretch, between the sots de les Teixoneres and the sot de la Bóta. Continuing downstream, you will come upon a vertical step, heavily eroded, forming a couple of curious protruding slabs of rock. We will move to the left of the riera, skirting among the vegetation and the upper level of the step, until we find the cavity only 20 metres from the aforementioned step.

Description

Morphology

The elongated entrance measures 5 x 1 metres and opens onto a pit 6.5 metres deep. It is slightly inclined and presents a pronounced ramp on the N side.

Hydrology

At the base of the pit opens a surveyed conduit that leads to the outside, that is, to the riera de les Arenes.

Progression

The pronounced ramp on the N side helps us descend without the need for a rope.

History

Discovered in 1991 by Eduard Badiella (SIS – CET) while he was pushing through those areas little accustomed to being visited by hikers.

Explored and surveyed by the Badiella brothers on 15 September 1991.
