Forra con alcuni punti abbastanza tecnici, come una sosta davvero molto aerea (su strapiombo) sotto un masso; dopo un po l'imbrago comincia a far male... e un mancorrente subito dopo che è "scivoloso"
La cascata da 70 m è molto bella è un peccato che non sia armata tutta nel flusso; ho provato il toboga negli ultimi metri, bisogna stare perfettamente chiusi perché è molto stretto il tubo in cui scende l'acqua. Il torrente è continuo e piacevole per tutta la discesa. Armi ok soltanto alcuni un po' arrugginiti, per la maggior parte catene con anello.
Gorge with some quite technical points, like a really very aerial belay (on overhang) under a boulder; after a while the harness starts to hurt... and a mancorrente right after that is "slippery"
The 70 m waterfall is very nice it is a pity it is not rigged all in the stream; I tried the toboggan in the last meters, you have to stay perfectly closed because it is very narrow the tube where the water goes down. The stream is continuous and pleasant all the way down. Weapons ok only some a bit rusty, mostly chains with ring.

Canyon continuo con dei bei passaggi, uno su tutti la grande cascata da 70 m quasi verticale (può essere toboga negli ultimi 10/15 m), c'è anche un passaggio in una piccola grotta e una calata da 30 m in un ambiente "simil-tropicale".
Un po' scarso di acqua nei mesi estivi.
Continuous canyon with some nice passages, one above all the large 70 m nearly vertical waterfall (can be tobogganed in the last 10/15 m), there is also a passage into a small cave and a 30 m rappel in a "tropical-like" environment.
Somewhat scarce water in summer months.
