Cueva Evaporada

The entrance is gigantic measuring approximately 100’ W x 30’ H. A very steep slope descended far below into the depths of the cave. I took a picture looking back up towards the entrance. The passage remained enormous throughout the cave. Nearer the beginning we briefly went through a narrow canyon-like passage but soon emerged back into huge borehole. This passage wasn’t really a canyon since you could traverse the sketchy slope up high, like Brandon did, and remain in larger passage. The canyon had been formed by breakdown. Ahead, the passage was easily 100’ W x 100’ H in places. Marion and Brandon were sitting midway up a large breakdown mountain near a 60’ pit entrance which lit the entire passage. I took a big passage shot here. I also took another slot on the other side of the breakdown mountain looking ahead towards some massive columns. Eventually, we’d traversed nearly 2000 feet of enormous borehole. I caught up with Brandon who was trying to figure out the best way to climb up through the breakdown to E2. He squeezed up through a spot that was tight on me. Soon we emerged from the breakdown, walked by many old termite nest, and looked up the slop to the second entrance, 60’ W x 30’ H. We routed. It was evident that it was getting darker outside when we saw the skylight, pit entrance. We exited the cave and caught up with Marion, who hadn’t toured all of Cueva Evaporada, at the next cave.
