Description

Martin Ellis - 19/11/2019

The cave is formed on a fissure. The entrance is trangular and 3m wide by 6 m high. The cave slopes up large boulders for 10 m and the passage height reduces to 1 m. Here a climb up of 3 m takes you to a nice formation room 1 m high and 4 m long. Heading back to the south through the mid level chamber takes you to a flowstone wall. To the left goes to a 20 m long, 15 m tall and 1 m wide canyon. At the end of the canyon there is a window 20 m above the sea. From the mid level room where the canyon started, the flowstone wall can be climbed up 20 m and pushed to the west to a 1 m crawl through breakdown to a 3rd entrance that is 30 m above sea level.
