Achtung, für diejenigen die das Topo im Swiss Alps Topo 2.0 anschauen, 95m reichen nicht. Wir haben 120m + 90m zusammen gebunden und Seillänge hat genau gepasst. Also sind die 110m hier beschrieben korrekt. Zwischenstand beim 10m + 50m ist nicht beim Becken (dort ist der Haken ausgerissen), sondern weit rechts. Haben wir zu spät bemerkt und haben deshalb die 60m direkt abgeseilt. Geht auch. Die Herdenschutzhunde sind beim Austieg/Aufstieg raus da, man kann aber rechts davon bleiben im Buchenwald und kommt gut am Gehege vorbei.

Note: For those looking at the route description in *Swiss Alps Topo 2.0*, 95 meters isn’t enough. We tied together 120 meters and 90 meters, and the rope length was just right. So the 110 meters described here is correct. The belay station for the 10m + 50m section isn’t at the basin (the anchor has been torn out there), but far to the right. We noticed this too late and therefore rappelled the 60m directly. That works, too. The livestock guard dogs are out near the exit/ascent, but you can stay to the right of them in the beech forest and easily get past the enclosure.

We did it today, yes the approach is not for everyone especially the part from val rotta to entry, bid exposed bit steep, but easly found. First part of the canyon before you meet rio montasio. Was dry, missing the water would be nice after rain. But probably rio montasio would be problematic. Rio montasio beauty but short. Too short. Approach 1hr 50 is right. Canyon 2hr taking it easy with 4. Exit 35 mins. All anchors were fine, for an adventure canyon no need to drill extra bolts

We did it today. Yes, the approach isn’t for everyone—especially the section from Val Rotta to the entrance, which is quite exposed and a bit steep, but easy to find. The first part of the canyon before you reach Rio Montasio was dry; it would be nice to have water there after it rains. But Rio Montasio would probably be problematic. Rio Montasio is beautiful but short—too short. The 1 hr 50 min approach time is accurate. The canyon took 2 hours at a leisurely pace with four people. The exit took 35 minutes. All anchors were in good condition; for an adventure canyon, there’s no need to drill extra bolts.

Sind superiore und inferiore heute begangen. Der untere Teil ist definitiv der sportlichere von beiden Teilen. Der 35m Abseiler ist nicht zu unterschätzen und schon bei Normalpapier sportlich. Außerdem kommt man durchaus umständlich zum Kettenstand (große Personen haben einen Vorteil ;-) ) Ansonsten in Summe eine schöne Tour für durchaus sportliche Personen wenn man beide Teile macht. Wir waren schneller unterwegs und haben inkl. Zustieg zum sup., der Blockhüpferei dazwischen und dem inferiore 6:45 benötigt.

We climbed the Superiore and Inferiore today. The lower section is definitely the more challenging of the two. The 35-meter rappel shouldn’t be underestimated—it’s quite a workout even on standard rope. Plus, reaching the chain anchor is a bit of a hassle (taller people have an advantage ;-) ). Otherwise, all in all, it’s a nice route for fairly athletic climbers if you do both sections. We moved quickly and, including the access to the “superiore,” the boulder hopping in between, and the “inferiore,” it took us 6:45.

Alle Stände ok, Schöne dunkle Becken, teilweise rutschig. Sind ebenfalls den Inferiore gegangen und im Bach geblieben. Wir haben 45 min im Blockgelände benötigt, waren aber schneller unterwegs. Teilweise müssen Felsblöcke als Verankerung genommen werden, weil man sonst nicht weiter kommt.

All sections were fine—beautiful dark pools, some of which were slippery. We also took the Inferiore route and stayed in the stream. It took us 45 minutes to get through the boulder field, but we were moving faster than that. In some places, you have to use boulders as anchors; otherwise, you can’t get any further.

Short but rewarding trip. Walking sections at the beginning of the canyon easy and not slippery

Bőséges vízmennyiség. Gyönyörű és izgalmas vizes szakaszok, szép ugrási lehetőségek. Emellett sok fárasztó, csúszós blockmászás is. Felszerlés vegyes minöségű, de rendben van.

Plenty of water. Beautiful and exciting water sections, with great opportunities for jumps. There’s also a lot of strenuous, slippery bouldering. The gear is of mixed quality, but it’s fine.

Uno dei canyon più belli mai fatti... Siamo partiti prestissimo ma alla fine dopo 5 h compreso avvicinamento eravamo già fuori... Certe calate brevi si possono disarrampicare in opposizione... La calata nella fessura fatta sotto il flusso, nemmeno tanto alto... Da rifare con più calma

One of the most beautiful canyons I’ve ever done... We set out very early, but in the end, after 5 hours—including the approach—we were already out... Some of the shorter descents can be climbed down using the opposition technique... The descent down the crack beneath the waterfall wasn’t even that high... I’d like to do it again at a more leisurely pace

Stark zugekiest, ansonsten schön wie immer.

Heavily covered with gravel, but otherwise as beautiful as ever.

Im oberen dunklen, waldigen Teil leider etwas Holz, die Stellen kann man aber gut umgehen. Unterer, offener Teil sehr moosig aber nicht störend. Kompakter, schön ausgewaschener Fels. Mit 40m gehen sich die Abseiler tw. haarscharf aus, besser mit 50m. Alle Standplätze in sehr gutem Zustand.

In the upper, dark, wooded section, there’s unfortunately some tree trunks, but you can easily work around those spots. The lower, open section is very mossy but not a problem. Compact, beautifully weathered rock. At 40 meters, rappellers may come within a hair’s breadth of running out of rope; 50 meters is better. All belay stations are in very good condition.

Dopo le piogge è tornato a un livello d'acqua "da Sorba", devil'slide con ancora troppa acqua, il grosso toboga si potrà cominciare a fare nei prossimi giorni probabilmente.

After the rains, the water level has returned to "Sorba" levels; Devil's Slide still has too much water, but we'll probably be able to start riding the big toboggan run in the next few days.

Entered the canyon right after A. Baim and exited at the river Bogna. 7 hour trip mainly due to log walks and swims in the upper part. Beautiful canyon! Last section is worth doing. The long waterfall has a decent (butt wet) belay
