20.10 Tirol Sababach Mario Rojer 4/5⭐ 💧 ➜
Haben ein Auto beim Holzplatz (Ausstieg) geparkt und somit nur 5 Minuten RĂŒckweg gehabt. Gesamter Bach extrem rutschig. 5h Gesamtzeit. HakenqualitĂ€t sehr gemischt. Teilweise Haken absolut an der Grenze, teilweise sehr neu. Ansonsten vor allem weiter unten sehr attraktiv und lohnenswert.
We parked a car at the lumberyard (exit) and thus only had a 5-minute walk back. The entire stream was extremely slippery. Total time: 5 hours. The quality of the anchors varied greatly. Some anchors were absolutely on the edge, while others were very new. Otherwise, it was very attractive and worthwhile, especially further down.
20.10 Friuli Venezia Giulia Rio Lavarie Paula G 5/5⭐ 💧 ➜
A very nice and well bolted canyon. Amazing rappels in a nice gorge. Beautiful clear water. Very much recommend to do it, also a nice combo with the supérieur. Watch out that you do go by the fractions in the cave.
A very nice and well-bolted canyon. Amazing rappels in a beautiful gorge. Beautiful, clear water. I highly recommend doing this route; it also pairs well with the Supérieur. Be sure to follow the markings inside the cave.
20.10 Friuli Venezia Giulia Rio Lavarie superior Paula G 3/5⭐ 💧 ➜
Entry is nicely connected to the entry hike to the Lavarie inferior. It is a 40 minutes extra hike after the entry for the superior. If you combine the 2, the superior is very nice and I would recommend it. If you don't combine it with the inférieur it is not worth it. Some hiking parts but also a nice rappel. Nice canyon, fun 50 m rappel with fraction.
The entry point is conveniently connected to the trail leading to the Lavarie Inferior. It’s an additional 40-minute hike from the entry point for the Superior. If you combine the two, the Superior is very nice, and I would recommend it. If you don’t combine it with the Inferior, it’s not worth it. There are some hiking sections, but also a nice rappel. It’s a nice canyon with a fun 50-meter rappel that includes a section.
20.10 Autónoma da Madeira Lajeado Isabella Rosenau 3/5⭐ 💧 ➜
Wenn man mit einem Auto unterwegs ist parkt man am Wanderparkplatz Parque de estacionamento Levada 25 Fontes. Von dort aus immer der Levada do Alecrim folgen bis man nach 3,5km am Einstieg ankommt. Am Anfang sind es ein paar kleinere Abseiler und SprĂŒnge. Danach folgen die 2 hohen Kaskaden. Die Umsteiger sind freihĂ€ngend und eine Trittschlinge macht Sinn. Bei der zweiten Kaskade haben wir nur drei StĂ€nde 9m, 47m und 75m gefunden. Danach lĂ€uft man noch rund 50m im Bach entlang bis man zu einer gemauerten Abstufung kommt. Hier nicht abklettern sondern orogr. rechts den leichten Pfadspuren an der Wand entlang folgen. Man gelangt zu einer Ă€lteren Levada, welche zum Wanderweg und zur Levada das 25 Fontes fĂŒhrt. Dann einfach der Levada das 25 Fontes folgen. Man lĂ€uft bis PR6 25 Fontes hike & Levada do Risco und kann von dort aus den Minibus (5€ p.P.) nehmen, der einen wieder zum Parkplatz bringt.
If you’re traveling by car, park at the Levada 25 Fontes hiking parking lot (Parque de estacionamento Levada 25 Fontes). From there, follow the Levada do Alecrim until you reach the entry after 3.5 km. At the start, there are a few short rappels and jumps. These are followed by two tall cascades. The belay points are free-hanging, so a foot loop is recommended. At the second cascade, we found only three belay points: 9 m, 47 m, and 75 m. After that, walk about 50 meters along the stream until you reach a stone-paved step. Do not downclimb here; instead, follow the faint trail along the wall to the orographic right. You’ll reach an older levada that leads to the hiking trail and the Levada das 25 Fontes. Then simply follow the Levada das 25 Fontes. Walk to PR6 25 Fontes Hike & Levada do Risco, and from there you can take the minibus (€5 per person), which will take you back to the parking lot.
19.10 Friuli Venezia Giulia Torrente Leale Yorick van Noord 4/5⭐ 💧 ➜
Schöne schlucht, wenn mann aquatisch gerne mag. Das kurze teil oberhalb vom querung vom bachbett nach unserem Meinung nicht den weiterem zustieg wert, da nur 1x kurze abseiler und einem höheren sprung/abseil. Alles in super zustand.
A beautiful canyon if you enjoy aquatic activities. In our opinion, the short section above the streambed crossing isn't worth the extra access, since it only has one short rappel and one higher jump/rappel. Everything is in great condition.
19.10 GraubĂŒnden Aua dil Mer Ba 5/5⭐ 💧 ➜
Zu 4 auf 2049m eingestiegen. Wunderschöne Tour, eine problematische Stelle. Nach dem langen 120m kommt nochmal 2x40m. Der Stand vom zweiten 40m ist unlogisch platziert, weit orographisch links, sodass man fast am Anfang schon aus dem Wasserlauf abseilen muss und weit links auf trockenen Fels nach dem Kettenstand suchen muss. Als erste, hab ich mich im Wasserfall abgeseilt, hab nirgends Haken gesehen. Man kommt in einem runden Becken mit RĂŒcklauf und am Ausgang siphoniert, mit unserem Wasserstand unproblematisch daraus zu schwimmen aber mit mehr Wasser potentiell sehr gefĂ€hrlich. Vor allem weil man von da 0 Chance hat, den Stand zu erreichen. Der ist dann 3-4 Meter auf flachem Fels oberhalb. Wenn man die Schlucht zu 2 geht, was ich nicht empfehlen wĂŒrde, mĂŒssen beide sehr erfahren sein damit das ganze auch funktioniert 😅. Alles andere unproblematisch inkl Siphon.
Started at 4 at 2,049 m. A beautiful route, with one tricky section. After the long 120-meter pitch, there are two more 40-meter pitches. The belay station for the second 40-meter rappel is illogically placed, far to the orographic left, so that you almost have to rappel out of the watercourse right at the start and search far to the left on dry rock for the chain anchor. I was the first to rappel down the waterfall and didn’t see any anchors anywhere. You end up in a round pool with a backflow, and at the exit there’s a siphon—with our water level, it’s no problem to swim out of it, but with higher water it could be very dangerous. Especially because from there, you have zero chance of reaching the belay station. That belay is 3–4 meters up on flat rock above the canyon. If you tackle the canyon as a pair—which I wouldn’t recommend—both climbers need to be very experienced for the whole thing to work out 😅. Everything else is straightforward, including the siphon.
19.10 Veneto Vajo dell’Orsa (inferiore) Jeroen Kirchner 3/5⭐ 💧
Worthwhile continuation of the upper Orsa. A few non-complicated abseils it's fastly done. Anchors are mostly glue-ins in the lower part. (Too many) exposed fixed ropes, guides should take them out at the end of season.
19.10 Veneto Vajo dell’Orsa (superiore) Jeroen Kirchner 4/5⭐ 💧
Not hiking up would be a shame really, it's such a nice trip. Continued into the inferiore which is worthwhile and logic, but there is also the trail next to it... Morning sun obliges both for the access and orientation of the canyon. Wildlife.
19.10 Tirol Auerklamm (ab WolfsbrĂŒcke) Mario Rojer 5/5⭐ 💧 ➜
Im Herbst ohne kommerzielle GĂ€ste sehr angenehm. Wasser eigentlich noch Recht angenehm. Rutschen alle machbar. SprĂŒnge teilweise.
Very pleasant in the fall without commercial guests. The water is actually still quite pleasant. All the slides are doable. Some of the jumps, too.
19.10 Tirol Alpenrosenklamm Mario Rojer 4/5⭐ 💧 ➜
StĂ€nde soweit alle i.O. Beide Rutschen und SprĂŒnge machbar. Im Herbst ohne Touristen sehr angenehm zu gehen.
Conditions are generally good. Both slides and jumps are doable. It's very pleasant to hike here in the fall when there are no tourists.
19.10 Autónoma da Madeira Hortelã inferior Isabella Rosenau 4/5⭐ 💧 ➜
Haben heute alle Teile des Hortela gemacht. Top eingerichtet. Der Bach ist durchgehend sehr rutschig.
We did all the sections of the Hortela today. It's set up great. The stream is very slippery all the way through.
