General description
The rift entrance is approximately 4 meters high and 1.5 meter wide. The almost straight passage goes through the ridge for approximately 350 meters to the north facing lower entrance. There is a small side passage entering from the north about one third of the way through. The cave is obviously used by hunters to avoid going over ridge. Guides reported that there are multiple caves within 30 minutes of walking along the ridge to the left and right of the lower entrance.
