Heute bei 3m³ in Merlins World (2,5m³ in der Enz) eingestiegen. Ersten beiden Abseiler ohne Probleme. Der C12 traumhaft bei dem Wasserstand in der Sonne! Schlitz war unmöglich und musste über Stahlseil umgangen werden. Der S4 ist machbar. Den Kochtopf umgangen, nur Weißwasser und hochaktiver Siphon. Die Bobbahn nicht machbar bei dem Wasserstand. Der S5 ohne Probleme und ohne Bodenkontakt. Der S6 vorm Ende Merlins World ist wieder frei ohne Bodenkontakt. Alles in allem eine sehr knackige, aber wunderschöne Tour bei dem Pegel!

Climbed into Merlins World today at 3m³ (2.5m³ in the Enz). First two rappels without problems. The C12 was fantastic with the water level in the sun! The second slot was impossible and had to be bypassed with a steel cable. The S4 is doable. Bypassed the Kochtopf, only white water and a highly active siphon. The bob run not feasible with the water level. The S5 without problems and without ground contact. The S6 before the exit of Merlins World is free again without ground contact. All in all, a very tough but wonderful tour at this water level!

Scorrimento d'acqua fin dall'inizio e pozze tuffabili. Molto bella la stretta parte finale. Corde fisse in buono stato, tranne una. Ritorno a Port Soller in barca con Sollermar (365€ x 14 persone).

Water flow from the beginning and plunge pools. Very nice narrow final part. Fixed ropes in good condition except for one. Return to Port Soller by boat with Sollermar (365€ x 14 people).

We had hoped that, given the almost total lack of snow and the virtually non-existent rainfall in the preceding months, the water level would be lower than normal, but we were wrong! Every descent is treacherous because it is very slippery, as is reaching certain anchors, even with a handrail. The anchors are often positioned on the ground or set back, which makes it difficult to retrieve the rope. Diving is not recommended as there are sharp rocks scattered haphazardly about! We gave up on the lower section, which is graded A5, as the middle section (A3) had already taken us three hours today.

Immer noch ein schöner Wasserstand 🤩

Still a nice water level 🤩

Suuckunu und Ecehanlik haben uns besser gefallen.

We liked Suuckunu and Ecehanlik better.

Hat uns sehr gefallen 🤩.

We really enjoyed it 🤩.

Integrato gli armi in un paio di occasioni durante la discesa odierna di un gruppo.

Integrated weapons on a couple of occasions during today's descent of a group.

Sempre meravigliosa la prima parte incassata in cui si può usare sempre la stessa corda vista la vicinanza degli ostacoli. Presenza di nevai soprattutto nell'affluente da scendere per arrivare sul greto del Santa Maria. Presenza di molte foglie insidiose per buona parte dell'avvicinamento, probabilmente dovuto alla recente ondata di molto caldo in montagna. Proprio sopra l'ultima calata (la più acquatica) c'è la più evidente via di fuga in riva dx tramite un prato a mò di cengia.

Always wonderful the first sunken part where you can always use the same rope given the proximity of the obstacles. Presence of snowfields especially in the tributary to descend to get to the Santa Maria riverbed. Presence of many treacherous leaves for much of the approach, probably due to the recent wave of very hot weather in the mountains. Just above the last rappel (the most watery) is the most obvious escape route on the right bank via a ledge-like meadow.

Nur Widdereggbach gemacht und durch Zwieselbach zurückgelaufen. Wasserstand aktuell recht hoch. Canyon hat einige Abseiler durchs Wasser - Wassergefahr gibt es jedoch kaum, da Gumpen nicht tief (auch beim drehenden Pool gegen Ende) sind und man nur Teile voll im Strahl hängt. Stände alle okay, Klebehaken, teils Kettenstände. Zu zweit haben wir ca 7h von Auto zu Auto gebraucht.

Only made Widdereggbach and walked back through Zwieselbach. Water level currently quite high. Canyon has some rappels through the water - but there is hardly any danger of water, as pools are not deep (even at the turning pool towards the exit) and you only hang fully in the stream in parts. Stands all okay, glued anchors, partly chain anchors. It took the two of us about 7 hours from car to car.

Weil es so schön war und auf dem Weg lag, grad nochmals. Auch 6 Tage später immer noch einen schönen Wasserstand für eine Trockenschlucht.

Because it was so beautiful and on the way, once again. Even 6 days later there was still a nice water level for a dry gorge.

Gli ostacoli principali sono le 3 grandi verticali, attenzione al relais per raggiungere la seconda, non entrare nella goletta, sosta in alto a destra appena prima. Ambiente aperto, tante possibilità di ripararsi in caso di eventuale piena. Ancoraggi top.

Main obstacles are the 3 big verticals, watch out for the relay to reach the second one, do not enter the schooner, top right belay just before. Open environment, lots of shelter possibilities in case of possible flood. Top anchors.
