Small pit 7 m deep on the path that climbs to Sant Salvador de les Espases (Esparreguera).

Caratteristiche

Località

It is located right beside the path that climbs to Sant Salvador de les Espases (Esparreguera). The path starts at the old spa of la Puda de Montserrat, passes over the FGC tunnel (Casablanca Tunnel) and continues towards the hermitage of Sant Salvador de les Espases. On reaching the confluence of the torrents de l'Afrau and de Sant Salvador, the path forks and one must take the left-hand branch (both lead to the hermitage), that is, the one that climbs up the slope of the torrent de Sant Salvador. Before starting the zigzags of the ascent, the pit is found right beside the path. Approximate coordinates. It has sometimes been cited as located in the municipality of Olesa de Montserrat, but, although by a small distance, we believe it is in Esparreguera. The topography section includes a map prepared by Xavier Badiella on which most of the cavities of the area are located and which may help in its location.

Descrizione

Morfologia

It consists of a single small shaft almost 7 metres deep, and at its base a short gallery about 5 metres long begins, where the cavity ends. On the ceiling of this gallery two very visible chimneys with blind vaults can be seen.

Altri dettagli

Geologically, these are carbonate breccias belonging to the Fm. Bretxes del Cairat (lithostratigraphic unit defined by Pere Anadón in 1978).

Storia

Given its location, this pit has been known since time immemorial, but due to its small importance it has never received special attention from speleologists. It does not appear in any speleological catalogue. We know that in January 1952 it was visited by members of the GES – CMB, being the oldest exploration of which we have record. Near this pit there should be another one, which the colleagues of the SIS – CET named Avenc petit de Sant Salvador, of which we only know that it is only about 2 metres deep.
