16.09 Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur Torrent de l' Eychauda Jeroen Kirchner 3.5/5⭐ 💧
Sporty flow and full sunshine. Done before thunderstorm as the dam clearly stipulates the danger. Luckily the canyon is over-equipped as you can easily change between dry and wet line or escape. Different anchors, mostly m10, glue-ins and lots of abalakovs. Unfortunately the first part is rather boring, as compared to some challenging abseils (watch out with high flow).
16.09 Kärnten Gössgraben Rick Paapy 3/5⭐ 💧
It is a shame all pools are filled up with debris, almost all jumps not possible. But nice afternoon hike. Car to car 1.5 hours
It's a shame that all the pools are filled with debris; almost none of the jumps are possible. But it was a nice afternoon hike. Car-to-car: 1.5 hours
16.09 Lombardia Cervio Enrico Rispoli 3.5/5⭐ 💧
Il giorno dopo il bares questo altro canyon molto acquatico, bisogna avere una certa dimestichezza con alte portate anche se in molti punti l'acqua si evita... La parte finale è bella stretta e anche molto estetica, con diverse pozze roteanti... Sopra un po' discontinuo ma comunque è un bel torrente!
The day after Bares comes this other very watery canyon; you need to be fairly comfortable with high water levels, even though you can avoid the water in many spots... The final section is quite narrow and also very scenic, with several swirling pools... It’s a bit uneven upstream, but it’s still a beautiful stream!

Perfekt um zwischen dem Regen was kleines aber schönes zu machen.
Perfect for making something small but beautiful while waiting for the rain to stop.
15.09 Lombardia Bares Enrico Rispoli 5/5⭐ 💧
È uno spettacolo, poco da dire, continuo, esteticamente bellissimo, divertente... Molto stancante, anche per via dell'acqua non più calda come ad agosto...
It's quite a show—no doubt about it—nonstop, visually stunning, and entertaining... Very tiring, partly because the water isn't as warm as it was in August...
15.09 Tessin Ticinetto (superiore) Pepijn Hoeksema 4/5⭐ 💧
Good trip! Low water at the moment. Super beautiful!
15.09 Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur Oules de Freissinieres Jeroen Kirchner 4.5/5⭐ 💧
Recent rain has re-activated the whole, though the water movements and strong waterfalls are manageable with the right amount of experience. The geyser passes easily, though in the pool below are many rocks, meaning you want to go down easy and set the rope length just right. Cold as usual and little sun entering.
15.09 Tessin Pontirone (Superiore) Kris Klein 4.5/5⭐ 💧
Alles top, schöne Schlucht. Abschnittweise recht viel Lauferei bzw Abkletterei über Holz und Felsblöcke. Paar schöne Sprünge auch dabei. Beim Shutteln standen an der Straße Schilder, die (auf eine Sperrung?) vom 17-19.09. hinweisen (mangels Sprachkenntis nur best guess).
Everything was great—beautiful canyon. In some sections, there was quite a bit of walking and scrambling over wood and boulders. There were a few nice jumps, too. When we were taking the shuttle, there were signs by the road indicating (a closure?) from September 17–19 (just a best guess due to my lack of language skills).
15.09 Steiermark Volkernotgraben Kren.Sebastian 3/5⭐ 💧
Gute Verhältnisse, die schönen Pools im unteren Teil sind leider noch halb zugekiest...
Nice facilities—unfortunately, the beautiful pools in the lower section are still half-filled with gravel...
15.09 Bern Schiltbach Bubtore 4.5/5⭐ 💧
Sehr cooler Bach. Wir haben einige Stände ergänzt oder neu eingerichtet. Unter anderem einen Stand beim 70er um im Strahl abseilen zu können. Er ist sehr luftig dafür sehr übersichtlich. Weiter unten dann, haben wir den Westlichen Bachlauf eingebohrt da ja der Östliche momentan trocken ist.
A really cool stream. We’ve added or set up a few new belay stations. Among other things, we set up a station at the “70” so we can rappel down the waterfall. It’s very open and airy, yet easy to navigate. Further down, we’ve set up a belay station on the western branch of the stream since the eastern branch is currently dry.
14.09 Tessin Cugnasco (superiore) Enrico Rispoli 4/5⭐ 💧
Il cascatone è bellissimo anche con meno acqua del solito... E anche il resto del canyon molto bello, qualche passaggio meno interessante ma se non fosse nel canton Ticino sarebbe un classicone
The waterfall is beautiful even with less water than usual... And the rest of the canyon is also very beautiful; there are a few less interesting sections, but if it weren't in the Ticino canton, it would be a real classic.
