02.08 Veneto Val D'Ortié Jeroen Kirchner 3/5⭐ 💧
In the upper part alone (1670-1575) today i added 6 Tebylon anchors, missing is a handline for the C30 (right bank), overall the sup can be descended safely now. The middle part is deeper and more adventurous, with old (mix of metal) and newer anchors (not always ideally placed), mostly singles. The last part i did not commit to and exited towards the trail river right at 1300+- because of approaching thunderstorm and missing anchors. For next visit: a handful of quicklinks, rope for trees and an unknown amount of anchors for the lower, for the middle and the handline in the upper part.
02.08 Tessin Combra (Val Malvaglia) BJD 4/5⭐ 💧
Slippery. Water level was low today (lower than the topo low picture). In the middle section one nut needs to be tensioned.

02.08 Tessin Pontirone (Inferiore) Micha Gruber 5/5⭐ 💧
Mega! Nach dem 45m Abseiler konnte man alles springen.
Awesome! After the 45-meter rappel, you could jump off anything.
02.08 Tessin Malvaglia - Orino (Inferiore) Micha Gruber 4/5⭐ 💧
Entspannte Kombination nach dem Pontirone Inf. Leider recht wenig Wasser und viele Algen, sehr rutschig (im Vergleich zu letztem Jahr). Trotzdem eine schöne Schlucht.
A relaxing hike after the Pontirone Inferiore. Unfortunately, there was very little water and a lot of algae, making it very slippery (compared to last year). Still, it’s a beautiful canyon.
02.08 Tessin Lodrino (inferiore) Patrick Klarner 5/5⭐ 💧
2 lose Plättchen. Sehr warm und ein Siebenschläfer der vor dem letzten Abseiler gerettet werden 🥹
2 loose slabs. Very warm, and a dormouse that was saved just before the last person performed a rappel 🥹
02.08 Tessin Lodrino (intermedio) Patrick Klarner 4/5⭐ 💧
Warmes Wasser, nicht übermäßig rutschig. Zweiter S8 ist tlw. nicht sehr tief.
Warm water, not overly slippery. The second S8 has some areas with relatively little depth.
02.08 Tessin Valle del Chignolasc Bina 4/5⭐ 💧
Aller guten Dinge sind 3 dieses Jahr :-) Herbstliches Ambiente. So wenig Wasser hatten wir noch nie im Chignolasc.... war trotzdem schön.
All good things come in threes this year :-) An autumnal atmosphere. We've never had so little water in the Chignolasc before... but it was still beautiful.
02.08 Tessin Cugnasco (inferiore) Joris Walch 4/5⭐ 💧
Faible débit (1.5 stone at check point). Très glissant. Très peu de sauts faisables. S11 OK, mais le S10 ne passe pas. Nous avons bloqué une corde dans la C30 que nous avons finalement coupé. Il reste donc un morceau de corde au relai. Attention à ne pas l'utiliser comme corde fixe!!!
Low water flow (1.5 stone at the checkpoint). Very slippery. Very few jumpable sections. S11 is OK, but S10 is impassable. We got a rope stuck in C30, which we eventually cut. So there’s a piece of rope left at the belay station. Be careful not to use it as a fixed rope!!!
02.08 Tessin Pesta Fred 3/5⭐ 💧
Alles gut, hat noch genug Wasser. Parken ist an der Schule möglich, oben überall Parkverbot.
Everything's fine; there's still plenty of water. You can park at the school, but parking is prohibited everywhere up there.
02.08 St. Gallen Zanaibach Betschart Stefan 4/5⭐ 💧
Verankerungen im Moment alle io, im inf teil 2 Hacken neu gebohrt. Wir sind bei der Holzbrücke an einem Baum direkt in die Schlucht abgeseilt. Lange anstrengende Tour. Wir haben beide Teile gemacht. Kein klares Wasser, daher mühsam zum laufen.
All the anchors are in place for now; we drilled two new holes for the hooks in the INF section. We rappelled down from a tree by the wooden bridge, straight into the canyon. It was a long, strenuous hike. We completed both sections. The water wasn't clear, so it was difficult to walk through.
02.08 Bern Burgfälle Tim 4/5⭐ 💧
Der obere Abschnitt mit den 4 Abseilern ist cool, die Verankerungen sind aber älter bzw. der untere Teil wurde saniert und diese nicht. Wir sind mit einem 40m Seil durchgekommen, für etwas mehr Komfort würde ich ein 50m Seil empfehlen. Im mittleren Teil hat es etwas Holz drin ist aber kein Problem.
The upper part with the four rappels is cool, but the anchors are older—the lower part was renovated, but these weren’t. We managed with a 40-meter rope, but for a bit more comfort, I’d recommend a 50-meter rope. There’s some wood in the middle section, but it’s not a problem.
