18.05 Trentino-Alto Adige Torrente Albola Jeroen Kirchner 3.5/5⭐ 💧
The flow today was higher than usual after a few days of rain (we had 0,10 https://www.floods.it/public/Charts.php?Sensori[]=28159) but everything smooth (0,06-0.08 would be more gentle). I wouldn't say the descent is a5 but it isn't harmless either: there's undercurrents, some slippery spots and the occasional rock hiding in the white water. Unfortunately rather short. The damaged handline refers to a steel cable, gloves come recommended. The anchors aging, but they do the job.
17.05 Steiermark Griesbach GeorgB 2.5/5⭐ 💧
Überraschend schöne kurze Tour. Zustieg im letzten Teil weglos aber ohne Hindernisse. Eventuell gibts aber auch einen richtigen Steig ins Kar. Der Fels ist schön ausgewaschen aber auch sehr rutschig.
Surprisingly beautiful short tour. Access in the last part is pathless but without obstacles. There may also be a real path into the cirque. The rock is beautifully washed out but also very slippery.
17.05 Friuli Venezia Giulia Rio Patoc (inferiore) Clarissa Linder 3/5⭐ 💧
Kurze Schlucht mit schönen klaren Becken. Wenige Sprünge möglich, Becken teils zugekiest.
Short canyon with beautiful clear pools. Few jumps possible, pools partly covered with gravel.
17.05 Tessin Navegna Massimo Loriato 3/5⭐ 💧
Flow at checkpoint in medium situation wrt Eldorado Ticino reference picture, quite close to the upper limit (see photo). All the pitches doable, take into account that in many of them the current belays make you end in many cases right under the flow. All the anchor points in order, lot of logs/wood in the canyon after the bridge checkpoint, water in the pool very dark and not clean. The C22 (see photo), right after a road bridge and before the C45 (see photo), we downded from a tree on the right, cause it has a big log in the middle resulting in the risk of rope getting stuck in recovery with high flow if pressed against or below. The final C40 can be divided into C28+C8 cause after the pool there is a belay on the left; suggested to use with high flow to avoid entering the pool with lot of rope (see photo).
17.05 Tessin Malvaglia - Orino (Inferiore) Christoph Cramer 4/5⭐ 💧
Ziemlich rutschig, etwas Holz im oberen Teil, sonst alles top!
Quite slippery, some wood in the upper part, otherwise everything is great!
17.05 Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Pissarde aval Roelvm 4/5⭐ 💧
Nice sporty waterflow 2 days after heavy rain

Nice sporty waterflow
17.05 Lombardia Baes Jeroen Kirchner 4/5⭐ 💧
Beautiful tour. Happy end with finish in the lake and swim back to the car. Some wood in the first few waterfalls, some we were possible to clear. And yes, gravel in the riverbed, which is also a good idea to clear before going down. Busy lower parking depending on wind conditions kiters are there or not. A paid parking or some spots along the lake (you may have to walk through a busy tunnel and swim back). One car+ the hike up works perfect otherwise. Abseils are plenty and most of them real beauties.
17.05 Tirol Rosengarten (Oberer) Ba 4/5⭐ 💧
Alles gut. Stand 2 muss erneuert werden, 1 der Bohrhaken orographisch links fast ausgerissen. Stand orographisch rechts an klebehaken für meine Körpergröße 164cm nicht sicher erreichbar.
All good. Belay 2 needs to be renewed, 1 of the bolts orographically left almost torn out. Stand orographic right on glued anchors not safely accessible for my height 164cm.
17.05 Tessin Valegiom Peisen 3.5/5⭐ 💧
Zwei Haken neu gesetzt. An einer Stelle versperrt ein frisch gestürzter Baum den eigentlichen abseilweg. Dort wurden an einem baum rechts fixseile angebracht um zum nächsten Haken zu kommen. Stellenweise rutschig zu gehen. Der zustieg war aufgrund der guten Markierung und dem GPS track gut zu finden, aber mit viel Laub bedeckt.
Two new anchors set. At one point, a freshly fallen tree blocks the actual abseil route. Fixed ropes have been attached to a tree on the right to get to the next anchor. Slippery to walk in places. The access was easy to find thanks to the good markings and the GPS track, but covered with lots of leaves.
17.05 Lombardia Froda (Inferiore) Bina 3/5⭐ 💧
Leider liegen im oberen Teil (Sup.) sehr viele Bäume, deshalb haben wir nur den unteren Teil (Inf.) gemacht. Zienlich rutschig, aber schön.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of trees in the upper part (Sup.), so we only did the lower part (Inf.). Slippery, but beautiful.
