Characteristics

Location

From the road from Senterada to Pont de Suert, near Viu de Llevata, we will turn off towards Adons; we will soon find a turn-off to the right leading to the Mas de Gras. From there we will follow the track for 2.2 kilometres. Once we have reached this spot we will have to climb the hill to the top, where we will see a ridge shaped like the bow of a large ship descending towards the confluence of the barranc de la Palomera with another tributary of it on the left-hand side. The cavity is located before the start of the steep slope, 10 metres from the right-hand edge of the hill, in an area of pines, but in a rocky corner without vegetation.

Approximate coordinates and location with little precision. Due to an error made, we assume that when converting the geographical coordinates of the meridian of Madrid given by the authors of the original article to those of Greenwich, all the catalogues that have appeared subsequently have given coordinates that would inexplicably place this cavity at the Pobleta de Bellveí, in the Vall Fosca.

History

Explored by the ERE of the CEC on 5 January 1966.

The name given to this cavity by the first explorers when they published the article in 1967 in Espeleòleg (2) is that of Graller del Serrat del Pascual, while on the survey they put Avenc. The same happens when they republish it in 1968 in Montaña (115).
