Description
Morphologie
Fissure formed on a fault with horizontal development but with deepening that follows the fracture, currently impassable but with the possibility of clearing and widening. Trend: horizontal/vertical. The cave develops within the Maiolica formation (Upper Jurassic-Lower Cretaceous, Tithonian-Aptian), stratified micritic limestones, along a tectonic structure with a north-western trend (about 330°). The fault within which the cave develops is directly connected to the tectonic system that develops in the Fosso di Pozzale valley and that gave rise to the other caves (Pozzale, Pozzicola and Pozzicoletto).
Spéléothèmes
Abundant presence of moonmilk along the walls.
Hydrologie
No significant air flows were detected - 2018. Water difficulties: other water-related.
Progression
Traversability: experts only; recommended period all year round. Progression difficulty: pits, narrow passages, traverses. Rigging: temporary; an aerial traverse must be rigged along the fracture since the cave is made slippery by the abundant presence of moonmilk on the walls. Hazards: dangerous access.
Histoire
Notes on the name: it takes its name from the mountain of the same name.
Bio
Bats: certainly present given the presence of guano on 17/02/2025.
