Sind nach den Regenfällen von vor 2 Tagen drinnen gewesen. Hat perfekt gepasst. Fließendes Wasser und viele Sprünge möglich. Alle Stände im perfekten Zustand. Waren in 1h 10 durch.

We went inside after the rain two days ago. It worked out perfectly. There was running water and plenty of opportunities to jump. All the stations were in perfect condition. We finished in 1 hour and 10 minutes.

Zu viert in 20 Minuten vom Parkplatz hoch und in 45 Minuten durch die Schlucht. Sehr griffig. Standplätze in gutem Zustand. Sehr niedriger Wasserstand.

The four of us hiked up from the parking lot in 20 minutes and made our way through the canyon in 45 minutes. Very good grip. Anchor points in good condition. Water level very low.

After the heavy rain the canyon was in normal condition & full in the sunshine. Snowy mountains in the front & back. Without the beauty of the Karwendel the canyon would be rather secundary, nothing technical. Interesting as introductory tour to the region or to the aspect of Abalakovs (style in which the canyon was opened). Added quicklinks, only 1 is missing (near the end).

Good waterlevel after big rain last days (72mm)! Equipment all ok, good fun with this flow!

Wunderschöner Canyon mit vielen Springmöglichkeiten. Am Ende Latscherei bis zur Staumauer.

A beautiful canyon with plenty of spots to jump. At the exit, it's a hike to the dam.

Alles i.O. Zustieg über die Levada do Norte, Ausstieg nach dem oberen Teil über die Levada Faja do Rodrigues.

Everything's fine. Access via the Levada do Norte; after the upper section, exit via the Levada Faja do Rodrigues.

Sehr viel Müll im Canyon. Lange rutschige Laufpassagen. Gute Anker kaum vorhanden - viele sind lose oder dünne alte Reepschnur. Spektakulär und sehr lohnenswert wird er erst am Ende: Eine enge Schlucht, Tief Eingeschnitten, eine tolle Aussicht und dann der Höhepunkt: Abseilen in den Atlantik und Rückfahrt per Boot. Nur für das Ende lohnt sich die Tour. Seil zum Notausstieg vor dem letzten Wasserfall nicht mehr vorhanden. Der Felsen oberhalb des Schlussabseilers zeigt einen markanten Riss, ggf. Erfolg hier irgendwann ein Felssturz.

A lot of trash in the canyon. Long, slippery walking passages. Good anchors are scarce—many are loose or made of thin, old rope. It only becomes spectacular and truly worthwhile at the exit: a narrow, deeply carved canyon, a great view, and then the highlight: Rappel into the Atlantic Ocean and returning by boat. The tour is worth it just for the end. The rope for the emergency exit before the last waterfall is no longer there. The rock above the final rappel has a prominent crack; a rockfall could occur here at some point.

Keine großen Veränderungen seit Juni. Trotz Regen extrem wenig Wasser. Aktuell sehr rutschig. Unterhalb des letzten Abseilers habe ich mittig an einen Fels einen Innox-Haken gesetzt. Dieser kann für eine Seilbahn über den letzten Wasserfall verwendet werden. Über den Klettersteig kann linksseitig wieder aufgestiegen werden.

No major changes since June. Despite the rain, there’s extremely little water. It’s very slippery right now. Below the last rappel point, I placed an Innox anchor in the middle of a rock. This can be used to set up a rope system across the last waterfall. You can climb back up on the left side via the via ferrata.

Alle Stände in Ordnung. Haben alle Zwischenstände bei der Kaskade benutzt.

All stands are in good condition. We used all the intermediate stands on the cascade.

The four of us hiked through the gorge starting from the iron bridge, a few hundred meters upstream from the road bridge (the trail to the waterfall). In our opinion, about two-thirds of the gorge is not very interesting, with a long, fairly level section that requires walking and a few rappels. About one-third of the way in, a forest road from both the left and right banks extends all the way to the riverbed (retaining wall)—we believe it’s easily accessible about 200 meters before the last short tunnel (there’s a gas station after the tunnel)—and we recommend entering from there. In the lower third, the gorge becomes stunning, featuring rappels and four beautiful slides in succession. We broke down the 135-meter waterfall roughly as follows: 25-20-30-60, but other combinations are possible by using a mix of old (but good) anchors on handmade plates and new anchors. Note that the first (old) anchor is offset to the right by about 5m from the vertical, and reaching it over slippery slabs and a narrow descending ledge is not always easy. The rest of the rappels are perfectly vertical along the rope. The anchors are more or less reliable: always check if there’s a subsequent anchor, because in some situations you’ll otherwise have to climb down using trapped trees. There’s a single anchor at the start of the lower third that needs to be integrated (drill). After that are 4 nice slides in sequence. It took us 6 hours and 15' from car to car. (5h 30' for the canyon only)

Haben ein Auto beim Holzplatz (Ausstieg) geparkt und somit nur 5 Minuten Rückweg gehabt. Gesamter Bach extrem rutschig. 5h Gesamtzeit. Hakenqualität sehr gemischt. Teilweise Haken absolut an der Grenze, teilweise sehr neu. Ansonsten vor allem weiter unten sehr attraktiv und lohnenswert.

We parked a car at the lumberyard (exit) and thus only had a 5-minute walk back. The entire stream was extremely slippery. Total time: 5 hours. The quality of the anchors varied greatly. Some anchors were absolutely on the edge, while others were very new. Otherwise, it was very attractive and worthwhile, especially further down.
