A 9-metre-deep pit in the south of les Agulles (Garraf), explored in February 1957 by GES – CMB.

Characteristics

Location

From the coll de la Clota, follow a wide path that leaves to the right, between two trees, and after a few metres becomes a narrow trail. This path skirts the south-eastern slope of the Puig de les Agulles. The way is more or less level until a short, slippery descent begins, over Keuper clay. You reach the bottom of a torrent bed where you must leave the path and climb, on the right, about 20 metres of elevation gain through a domain of brambles, up to the pit. The cave entrance opens vertically in a small rocky step.

Description

Morphology

The entrance is vertical and oriented to the SE, giving way to a very inclined conduit that opens into the roof of a 8.90-metre shaft whose base is occupied by small-sized clastic materials and where the cave ends.

The only existing survey indicates a total depth of 12 metres, since it counts from the upper lip of the entrance and includes a slight error in the measurements of the shaft.

History

The first exploration took place in February 1957 by members of GES – CMB.
