Avenc Ii del Clast

Petit avenc de 6 m. de fondària a la Serra del Cairat (Esparreguera)

Esparreguera • Baix Llobregat20m6m

Small 6 m deep pit in the Serra del Cairat, in Esparreguera, with two entrances and a main gallery of 10 m.

Characteristics

Location

In the Serra del Cairat, near the Coll de Cassot, in Esparreguera. We must follow the same itinerary as to go to the Avenc Montserrat and the Avenc del Fum. From the latter we will have to follow about 30 metres towards the S and we should find the pits of the Clast. All three are arranged from N to S. The northernmost is the Avenc III del Clast, a few metres further on is the Avenc del Clast and continuing towards the S, very close by, is the Avenc II del Clast. Approximate coordinates and very difficult location due to the exuberant vegetation that covers the whole area. In the topography section a map prepared by Xavier Badiella is included, on which most of the cavities of the area are located and which can help in their location.

Description

Morphology

The cavity has two entrances. The one furthest N is the easiest of access and leads us to the main gallery of the pit and has 10 metres of passage; in some sections the width is 1.5 metres, while towards the S side it narrows, becoming impracticable. Halfway along the passage one can descend down a steep ramp, not at all comfortable, which leads to a narrow final conduit at 6 metres depth.

History

The only reference we have of this cavity is the one made by members of the SIS – CE Terrassa who explored and surveyed it in January 1985 during the cataloguing work of the area.
