Completed the exploration, started in 2023 with the upper part and 2024 with the intermediate part, with the last section from Caviano/Sant'Abbondio at height 290 down to parking under the road just before the lake at height 210.
Flow in picture medium, no rain in the last week but quite all day in the week before, that makes the last section very nice cause starting with a 20m high pitch followed by a narrower passage with a couple more pitches with abundant water.
