Caratteristiche

Località

Take the track that leaves the Pla d'Ardenya towards the Serra del Mas and el Sotarro. On reaching the first crossroads, follow the left-hand one; when the climb is practically over and the track turns right towards the doline of the serra del Mas, we must turn off to the left towards the crag. Before reaching it we will find a fissure that blocks our way; following it both to the right and to the left we will come across the different numbers that have been given to the Esquerda del Mas de les Fonts. No. 1 is the one found furthest to the left of all when the slope begins.

Descrizione

Morfologia

Of the whole set of fissures of the Mas de les Fonts it is the best known. The upper opening gives access to a 36-metre shaft. The lower opening is wider and easy to access; after descending into a small chamber, a narrow passage connects with a 20-metre shaft. The base forms a descending gallery 18 metres long until it becomes impassable. This gallery sector connects with the base of the 36-metre shaft.

Storia

Although the first exploration is attributed to Font i Sagué, and he mentions it in his catalogue, nowhere does he say that he has been there. In the article on the Font d'Armena he does not even mention it.

Rafael Amat i Carreras explores it for the first time on 24 August 1925 and names it Esquerda del Mas de les Fonts. He considers that he may have descended to -50 metres, throws a stone and calculates that the fissure descends some 50 metres further.

In 1963, the people of the Club Muntanyenc Barcelonès explored it again and give it a depth of 40 metres. They also call it Esquerda del Mas de les Fonts.

At the end of the 70s it is explored by the ERE of the CEC, where they cite the different fissures as Penya Esquerdada, with different numbers to identify them, in this case number 1.

On 28 November 1995 it is explored and surveyed by members of the SEO-CE Vallirana, they name them with the initials SM-3/4.
