26.03 Madeira Ribeira do Campanário Casa Vento Madeira 4/5⭐ 💧
Very short but intense and spectacular. The high waterfall has an intermediate stand in a direct line after about 50 meters. This is not optimally drilled in, the rope runs over a rough edge and jams heavily when pulling off. If there is a strong flow and / or wind, the intermediate abseil level is in the water. High water level due to the rainfall a few days ago.
24.03 Madeira Faja das Eguas Casa Vento Madeira 3.5/5⭐ 💧
With more water, the tour has certain charms. Be careful when it rains in the mountains, the water level can rise extremely. There are various escape routes, but not always. The bad weather of the previous week has completely washed through the canyon, all anchors are still OK, but it has removed some tree trunks and changed some passages.
24.03 Solothurn Chesselbach Peisen 4/5⭐ 💧
Everything superiore. Little slippery, all anchors good.
23.03 Oberbayern Giessenbach (mittlerer) Elias Eberl 4/5⭐ 💧
All stands in order, water already surprisingly "warm". At the "Gscheier Loch" there is the possibility of attaching an intermediate stand or deflection. Chain anchor on the right.
23.03 Sicilia Palazzolo Wido 3.5/5⭐ 💧
Gola Palazzolo Beautiful canyon that starts very relaxed. The path becomes steadily more demanding until the very beautiful 35 m waterfall at the exit. Turn off the SP110 at 37.9823458N, 14.9811202E onto a small asphalt road. P at 37.9649756N, 14.9895190E. From here follow the dirt road to a ford at 37.9576660N, 14.9853086E. Get in here. After a few meters, the stream enters the canyon. There are several short abseils no longer than 5 m, some of which can be downclimbed. Jumps are not possible. The small pools are shallow and blocked. The often slippery blocks in the watercourse require some caution. The short rappel after the giant tree is followed by a channel (critical depending on the water supply) with several BHs leading to the final drop. You can rappel from the chain in a 35 m step in the watercourse or left 10 m to 2 moderate BH0. From these, a 25 m rappel leads over a whirlpool cave into the final pool. Alternatively, you can traverse from the moderate BH to the left and rappel from a tree outside the waterline. Exit the last pool on the left and follow the path to the fenced water building. Follow the fence to the path, which is easy to follow back to the P. The requirements vary greatly depending on the water supply. In late spring, the canyon often dries out quickly and is then rather uninteresting. Water quality: good but murky, hardly any garbage Equipment: good to moderate Emergency exit only possible at the start
23.03 Tirol Tiefer Graben Felix 2/5⭐ 💧
Completely dry in the upper part. Very low water in the lower part. Currently 3 dead chamois in the canyon. But a heap of live chamois around the canyon.
22.03 Waadt Tenasses Peisen 3.5/5⭐ 💧
The canyon is still largely buried under avalanche snow. The steps of the first 3-4 cascades can already be rappelled if you crawl under the ice after the rappel or continue rappelling on the ice to the next belay. We got off after the big step as all the anchors and the entire canyon are buried under the avalanche snow. The exit is difficult, tricky and laborious. Current ascents only recommended with ice equipment and/or a drill
22.03 Tirol Gänsbach (unten) Montie 2.5/5⭐ 💧
Very short, but nice to get back into it after the winter. Took us a little less than an hour to get down from the top. Easily combined with the Taxaklamm, which is only 3 minutes away. Short Video in the links section.
22.03 Kärnten Silbergraben Clarissa Linder 2/5⭐ 💧
Stands in poor quality, which fits at the high rappel. The parking lot described below is on private land. We had a nice chat with the owners and it was no problem.
