10.05 Trentino-Alto Adige Torrente Albola Matteo Delfitto 4/5⭐ 💧
Percorso con portata simile alla relazione precedente, le vasche di ricezione sono turbolente ma difficilmente hanno movimenti vorticosi pericolosi; per le ultime calate abbiamo scelto di utilizzare gli armi fuori dal flusso; nel complesso canyon molto bello con una strettoia notevole. Alcuni armi sono un po' datati, le corde fisse non sono proprio in buono stato.
Route with flow similar to previous report, receiving pools are turbulent but hardly have dangerous swirling movements; for the last rappels we chose to use the out-of-stream weapons; overall very nice canyon with a notable bottleneck. Some of the weapons are a bit dated, fixed ropes are not really in good shape.
10.05 Tirol Grieskarbach Philipp 4/5⭐ 💧
Landschaftlich sehr schöne Tour mit vielen kleinen Rutschen und Abkletterstellen. Interessante Passage beim 32m Abseiler, zum Stand davor empfiehlt sich ein Seilgeländer. Die 32m lassen sich durch einen neuen Haken links auch unterteilen, dann geht es sich mit 40m Seil aus. Im unteren Teil immer noch viel Totholz.
Very scenic tour with many small slides and downclimbs. Interesting passage at the 32m rappel, a rope traverse is recommended for the stand in front of it. The 32m can also be divided by a new anchor on the left, then it works out with 40m of rope. There is still a lot of dead wood in the lower part.

Beautiful 50m Rappel. Very low water level
10.05 Muğla Butterfly Canyon Horst Lambauer 2/5⭐ 💧
Verankerung besteht meistens nur aus versinterten Seilen. Nach dem ersten Abseiler unbedingt 15m bis zum nächsten Stand (Baumschlinge links) gehen und nicht in einem durch, weil durch sehr hohe Seilreibung es sonst zu Abzugproblemen kommen kann ( das ist der Gruppe vor uns passiert, ohne unsere Hilfe hätten sie das Seil nicht abziehen können). Eher Dchungeltour mit 4 Abseilern, 2 davon ca 50m. Gut zu kombinieren mit Sarpdere. Nur dür diesen Canyon alleine braucht man nicht hinfahren. Schöner Strand mit Bar beim Ausstieg. Man kann vom Strand nur mit Boot wegkommen, das 500 türkische Lira kostet.
Anchoring consists mostly of sintered ropes. After the first rappel, make sure you walk 15m to the next belay (tree sling on the left) and don't go through in one go, otherwise very high rope friction can lead to problems pulling off (this happened to the group in front of us, without our help they wouldn't have been able to pull off the rope). Rather a jungle tour with 4 rappels, 2 of them about 50m. Good to combine with Sarpdere. You don't need to go to this canyon alone. Nice beach with bar at the exit. You can only get away from the beach by boat, which costs 500 Turkish lira.
10.05 Muğla Sarpdere Horst Lambauer 2.5/5⭐ 💧
Alle Stände ok, Ich bin kein Freund von Trockencanyons, deswegen nur 2,5. Hat aber sehr schöne Stellen. Also für Canyonauten, die mit Wasserlosigkeit kein Problem haben sicher mehr als 2,5 Sterne.
All stands ok, I am not a friend of dry canyons, therefore only 2.5, but has very nice spots. So for canyoneers who have no problem with waterlessness, certainly more than 2.5 stars.
10.05 Veneto Torrente Grisol PeterAlbertini 4/5⭐ 💧
Ambiente bello, molto maestoso. Portata alta dell’acqua. Prestare attenzione in un paio di punti… Attenzione anche hai tronchi incastrati su parte finale inforrata. Per uscita , non abbiamo trovato le corde fisse, ma abbiamo trovato il canale scolo del paesello soprastante (vedi foto 4). (Metà strada tra confluenza Maé e Ponte per andare al paese dalla strada SP251).
Beautiful environment, very majestic. High water flow rate. Be careful in a couple of places... Beware also hai stuck logs on final forked part. By exit , we did not find the fixed ropes, but found the drainage channel of the little village above (see photo 4). (Halfway between Maé and Ponte confluence to go to the village from road SP251).

Alles in Ordnung. Lustige, kürzer Schlucht. Auch perfekt zum üben
Everything in order. Fun, shorter canyon. Also perfect for practicing
09.05 Trentino-Alto Adige Rio Nero (Lago di Garda) Matteo Delfitto 4/5⭐ 💧
Canyon davvero bello con alcune strettoie esteticamente spettacolari. Prima della calata n. 13 siamo dovuti uscire causa temporale non previsto... Sulla sx ci sono delle vecchie corde in un canalino molto ripido, si sale circa 20 m, queste corde fisse non sono affidabili. Si arriva a un terrazzino. Da qui salendo su una cengia molto esposta a sinistra (poche possibilità di proteggersi) si arriva sotto un abete. (15 m dal terrazzino) per riuscire ad arrivare all'albero c'è un passaggio verticale complesso di circa 3 m in una sorta di diedro. Arrivati all'abete salire ancora dritti nel bosco ripido per altri 20 m. Da qui si vede chiaramente la strettoia delle cascate 16 e 15. Bisogna proseguire in traverso a sx in piano nel bosco scosceso per risalire all'ostacolo n. 16, sono circa 70/80 m. Si arriva in un punto in cui il bosco è meno ripido e sotto si vede il torrente in piano, si scende per 20/30 m e si raggiunge di nuovo il letto del Rio. !utilizzare questa via di fuga solo se si hanno buone capacità di sforramento in questo tipo di terreno! Da qui sulla destra orografica c'è una via di fuga utilizzata anche dal soccorso alpino. Consiste in una cengia pianeggiante lunghissima, a tratti esposta, che porta a collegarsi al sentiero di discesa a valle.
Really nice canyon with some aesthetically spectacular narrows. Before rappel #13 we had to go out due to unplanned thunderstorm.... On the left there are some old ropes in a very steep gully, you climb about 20 m, these fixed ropes are not reliable. You reach a small terrace. From here climb up a very exposed ledge on the left (few opportunities for protection) to reach below a fir tree. (15 m from the small terrace) to manage to get to the tree there is a complex vertical passage of about 3 m in a kind of dihedral. When you reach the fir tree climb straight up again into the steep forest for another 20 m. From here you can clearly see the bottleneck of waterfalls 16 and 15. You have to continue traversing left on the flat in the steep forest to climb up to obstacle No. 16, it is about 70/80 m. You come to a point where the forest is less steep and below you can see the stream on the level, descend for 20/30 m and reach the Rio bed again. !use this escape route only if you have good straining skills in this type of terrain! From here on the orographic right is an escape route also used by mountain rescue. It consists of a very long flat ledge, exposed in places, that leads to connect with the downhill path to the valley.
