Small pit 5 m deep at Can Verdeguer (Mediona), with an entrance partly obstructed by large blocks and two continuations: a gallery towards the NW and a descending fissure towards the SW.

Characteristics

Location

From the Can Verdaguer urbanisation, located to the ESE of Mediona, we will ascend along Camí de la Miranda street towards the small summit of the Talaia; a little before reaching the summit itself we will take the Clivelleres path 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 in a SW direction; we will arrive in front of a small crag and follow its base in a NW direction, descending a 170 m stretch.

The pit is about 30 m in front of the crag, in a wooded area between the main trench of the crag and another secondary one to the E of the main one.

Description

Morphology

Small pit 5 m deep. The entrance has some large blocks that partly obstruct the passage, but they help make it possible to descend easily to the base of the diaclase; once here there are two possible continuations.

Progression

In a NW direction the gallery continues for a few metres until we find an obstruction of blocks.

In a SW direction the gallery continues beneath the entrance blocks and descends through a narrow fissure, at the end of which horizontal progression is limited by the narrowness and a new drop allows descent to the lower and final part of the cavity.

History

Unpublished cavity.
