Description

Morphology

The 5x6-metre entrance gives access to a shaft of -8 metres divided into four small drops. The base keeps the same dimensions as the entrance shaft and forms a room of irregular structure from which two horizontal galleries emerge. The first follows the same direction as the entrance shaft and is 12 metres long with a narrow section and a high ceiling. The second is in the room hanging 2 metres above the floor, and is formed by a room 4 metres in diameter opened amid a chaos of blocks. The total length is 29.43 metres.

History

This group of very abundant crevices in this area is popularly known as “Les Clivelleres”. The first mention of this cavity is provided by Antonio Asensio, who explored it on 25 January 1986.
