12.07 Trentino-Alto Adige Torrente Grigno Francesco Micaglio 5/5⭐ 💧
Forra meravigliosa, entrati con portata tra i 2.12 e 2.36 come da idrometro, nonostante ieri che c è stato il temporale e un picco di ben 7.5 metri cubi al secondo 😜. Dopo la cascata delle valchirie, la cascata della frana è stata attrezzata con un mancorrente di notevole esposizione, ma oggi si poteva anche evitare perché il ramo di destra della cascata non era attivo. I tuffi quasi tutti tuffabili, di cui alcuni obbligati. Armi ok
A wonderful gorge; we entered with a flow rate between 2.12 and 2.36, according to the hydrometer, despite yesterday’s thunderstorm and a peak of a whopping 7.5 cubic meters per second 😜. After the Valkyries Waterfall, the Landslide Waterfall has been equipped with a handrail in a particularly exposed section, but today it was possible to bypass it because the right branch of the waterfall wasn’t flowing. Almost all the dives were doable, some of which were mandatory. Anchors okay
12.07 Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Montmin Bina 2.5/5⭐ 💧
Kleine, hübsche, leider zu kurze Schlucht.
A small, pretty canyon—unfortunately, too short.
12.07 Veneto Valle della Fontana Matteo 2/5⭐ 💧
Ancoraggi ok ma livello di acqua basso. Forra secca a meno di forte temporale. In generale la fatica è più del gusto, non la ripeterei.
Anchors are fine, but the water level is low. The gorge is dry unless there’s a heavy storm. Overall, it’s more of a chore than a pleasure; I wouldn’t do it again.
12.07 Occitanie Marc (Ariège) Horst Lambauer 3.5/5⭐ 💧
Sehr nette kurze Schlucht mit vielen Sprüngen. Highlight der 15m Sprung. Klares Wasser. Ein schneller Quicky Auto-Auto in 50 min ohne zu rennen. Hab die Beschreibung ergänzt bzw. an aktuelle Gegebenheiten angepasst.
A very nice, short canyon with lots of jumps. The highlight is the 15-meter jump. Clear water. A quick round trip by car in 50 minutes without rushing. I've updated the description to reflect current conditions.
12.07 Piemonte Lasino Ivan I. 5/5⭐ 💧
Fatto intermedio e basso, tutto ok
Medium and low, everything's fine
12.07 Wallis Gondo Timothé Zen-Ruffinen 5/5⭐ 💧
Perfect conditions! ♥️🥰 clear blue water, not slippery, jumps and slides doable, (watch out by the first slide wirh the drop, the pool is ~2m deep but it works). Finish cascades at the very end not slippery. Just magnificient! 😍🥰
12.07 Bern Saxetbach (mittlerer) BiodiversitAndy 4.5/5⭐ 💧
Mit Maik, Michal, Leon und Stafanie begangen. Die üblichen Rutsch- und springbar.
Climbed with Maik, Michal, Leon, and Stafanie. The usual slides and jumpable areas.
12.07 Tirol Seeache Clarissa Linder 1/5⭐ 💧
Mit Neo fast schon overdressed. Man trifft auf viele Badegäste im Bikini/Badehose ;) Perfekt zum Abkühlen wenn man schon in der Nähe ist.
With Neo, you're almost overdressed. You'll run into lots of swimmers in bikinis and swimsuits ;) It's the perfect way to cool off if you're already in the area.
11.07 Salzburg Fischbach (Bluntautal) Tom (Thomas Fras) 4/5⭐ 💧
Alle Standplätze okay, Abseilstelle durch Felsloch noch möglich, Seilgeländer bei Engstelle etwas beschädigt ( jedoch noch brauchbar)
All belay stations are okay; rappelling is still possible through the hole in the rock; the rope traverse at the narrow section is slightly damaged (but still usable)
11.07 Tirol Johannesbach Flo 4/5⭐ 💧
Sehr beeindruckende Tour. Begehung bei vergleichsweise geringen Wasserstand, dennoch extrem aquatisch und sehr anspruchsvoll. Wirklich nur für erfahrene Canyonauten die sich im Weißwasser wohlfühlen empfohlen. Tourenbeschreibung ist großteils korrekt. Gleich nach dem Einstieg zwei Stellen mit Baumverhau und sehr gefährlichem Sog unter die Bäume rein, aber mit Seil machbar. In der ganzen Tour fast keine Haken vorhanden, aber eigentlich immer genug Holz um ein Seil zu legen (Achtung auf Seilklemmer). Bei 2 der nur 3 vorhandenen Haken wurden die Ösen von uns erneuert und gefährlich durchgescheuerte Reepschnüre emtfernt. Haken an sich wirken noch gut. Rücklauf im großen Becken nach dem etwas höheren Abseiler war ok, ging auch ohne Treibanker. Die letzte Passage ist sehr eindrucksvoll, zum Glück kann der große Wasserfall rechts etwas umgangen werden (von oben vom Stand aus nicht einsehbar). Es empfiehlt sich für diese Stelle die Mitnahme eines lang genugen Seiles (40m) um genügend Spielraum für entsprechende Seiltechniken oder den Aufbau einer Seilbahn zu haben. Dem Seilgeländer kurz vor Ausstieg ist nicht mehr zu vertrauen, hier sollte zusätzlich gesichert werden. Insgesamt wirklich anspruchsvoll aber bei Wasserstand nach längerer Trockenperioden machbar. Noch 10cm Wasser mehr und einige Stellen sind wahrscheinlich nur mehr sehr schwierig passierbar.
A very impressive tour. We ran it when the water level was relatively low, yet it was still extremely aquatic and very challenging. Recommended only for experienced canyoneers who are comfortable in whitewater. The tour description is largely accurate. Immediately after the entry, there are two sections with tree snags and very dangerous undertows pulling you under the trees, but they’re manageable with ropes. There are almost no anchors along the entire tour, but there’s actually always enough wood to set up a rope (watch out for rope snags). At two of the only three existing anchors, we replaced the eyelets and removed dangerously frayed ropes. The anchors themselves still seem to be in good condition. The descent back into the large pool after the slightly higher rappel was fine; it worked even without a drift anchor. The final section is very impressive; fortunately, the large waterfall can be bypassed slightly to the right (not visible from above the belay station). For this section, it’s advisable to bring a rope long enough (40 m) to allow sufficient leeway for appropriate rope techniques or setting up a rope traverse. The rope traverse just before the exit can no longer be trusted; additional belaying is required here. Overall, it’s truly challenging but doable when the water level is low after a prolonged dry spell. Just 10 cm more water, and some sections would likely be very difficult to navigate.
11.07 Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Coiserette Joris Walch 4/5⭐ 💧
DC- . Tous les sauts possibles, mais pas beaucoup de fond (il faut toujours bien amortir). Mains courantes en place. 1h50 la boucle.
DC- . All possible jumps, but not much depth (you always have to land softly). Handrails in place. 1 hour 50 minutes per lap.
