What you find in the detailed description
I remember ...
It was my friend Domenico Riga who told me of these falls. I never realized about them, maybe because I had gone in Colognati valley only in summer,
when St. Onofrio's falls are dry. But, after Domenico's words, one glance was enough for me to "see" the dry falls.
Photographs in this website show ultralight ropes (6 mm ropes made of high tenacity fibers). Read multimedia book Ultralight ropes canyoning technique to learn how to use them.

I just had to wait for the right season, which is obviously not the summer.
