Descrizione
Morfologia
It consists of a large interior main hall with a steeply sloping floor, with three large entrances and natural light, which has been taken advantage of to install various climbing routes sheltered from the weather. From it emerge four galleries at different levels that form an irregular and complex development.
The main entrance is wide and triangular in shape, 5x3 metres; the main hall is accessed via a comfortable and short descending gallery that in turn connects with an upper ledge formed by blocks. At the back and at one end on the right a 6-metre shaft opens with a wide structure. Its base is the start of a gallery that at 10 metres connects with the dome of a 5-metre shaft with a narrow entrance. On the right-hand side, there is a side gallery with uncomfortable access that descends a few metres until it becomes filled with blocks. Back at the 5-metre shaft and once down, we find ourselves in a wide hall. At the opposite end, a short step is joined with another very chaotic hall, formed by an accumulation of blocks in false balance. At its back we reach the maximum depth of the cavity -20 metres. Back at the ledge giving access to the main hall, one descends among the large blocks that form it and enters the main hall; a broad vestibule with a very inclined floor and a square structure, occupied by enormous blocks. Along the right wall and as we descend, we will find a gallery with a narrow, jointed section that climbs about 12 metres until it becomes impassable. A few metres further on and always skirting along the right-hand side, another wider and taller gallery opens with a linear development. After ascending a step, it leads us outside through a stretch of low ceiling. At the beginning of this last gallery and in a bend behind a block we find a new very uncomfortable route among blocks with constant changes of direction that ends near the exterior exit of the gallery mentioned above. Returning to the main hall, a final route follows the ascending ramp among blocks that in about 8 metres of a comfortable square-section gallery leads us to the lower entrance of the cavity, about 10 metres below the upper entrance.
