049 Torca del Somo
South Vega VN50999409 Alt. 672m Depth 77m
The entrance is a 15m pitch over some precariously poised boulders to a ledge. Pitches of 9 and 7m then follow immediately, landing on a scree slope which descends to a narrow passage on the right.
After 15m and a couple of short climbs, the narrow and sharply fretted head of a 23m pitch is reached.
A 10m deep hole from the final chamber chokes, as does a large, rising boulder slope.
