Cavity formed along two sets of orthogonal fractures, with widespread collapses that require care during progression and constant dripping, without evident signs of karst corrosion.
Description
Morphology
The cavity is formed along two sets of orthogonal fractures that deeply influence the morphology; the rock's schistosity and intense fracturing have generated widespread collapses.
Speleothems
At the bottom, modest calcite crystallizations were found.
Hydrology
Despite the considerable amount of water that flows through the cave during the thaw period and the constant dripping, no evident signs of karst corrosion are noticeable.
Progression
The rock's schistosity and intense fracturing, besides making rigging problematic, have generated widespread collapses in which progression requires care.

History
The area was studied by Biella speleologists in 1983.
