This is the twin waterfall to the right of Revers; a little less difficult compared to its neighbour but equally good. It is dedicated to the “Professor” Patrick Gabarrou, who attended the opening on the day after the climb of the Cascatone di Planaval (this time without E. Marlier). To the right of the waterfall – on the big overhang bordered by stalactites – there is a difficult dry-tooling site created by E. Marlier (fix).
