The journey up the mountain is steep and dangerous. Lots of loose rubble to slip on, so be careful.
Just before you get there you pass the Aria well, where you can get a well-deserved drink of water.
Inside the cave it is pitch black for a few minutes, before your eyes adjust from the blinding sun light outside, so wait for a while before you move carefully forward in the cave. You don't want to disappear down a hole, do you?
