06.09 Friuli Venezia Giulia Rio Nuccí MirkoT 4/5⭐ 💧
Spettacolosa la prima parte del Nucci da circa quota 1200. Nessuna pozza tuffabile, ma ambiente maestoso.In Primavera con più acqua alcune calate diventano belle acquose, soprattutto nella seconda parte (più aperta rispetto alla prima parte). Dal Bevador se si scende in disarrampicata verso il greto del Nucci (non facendo il traverso verso dx) si trova un chiodo da roccia per scendere in corda per 4-5 metri su pozzetta nel greto del Nucci.
The first section of the Nucci, starting at about 1,200 meters, is spectacular. There are no pools suitable for diving, but the setting is majestic. In the spring, when water levels are higher, some descents become quite watery, especially in the second section (which is more open than the first). From Bevador, if you descend by scrambling down toward the Nucci riverbed (without traversing to the right), you’ll find a rock piton from which to rappel 4–5 meters down to a small pool in the Nucci riverbed.
06.09 Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Chailles Clarissa Linder 4/5⭐ 💧
Sind bis auf 2 Abseilstellen alles gesprungen (Achtung: Wassertiefe von oben nicht abschätzbar!)
We jumped from all of them except for two rappelling spots (Caution: You can't estimate the water depth from above!)
06.09 Piemonte Otro Matteo Delfitto 4/5⭐ 💧
Finalmente dopo tanti anni siamo riusciti a organizzare questa discesa! Abbiamo trovato degli armi di un'esplorazione precedente, ma assolutamente insufficienti e rovinati dalle piene, quindi abbiamo aggiunto quello che serviva per scendere (catene, punti intermedi x mancorrenti)... inizio veramente spettacolare nelle "Caldaie d'Otro", poi qualche cascata più piccola e finale con altre belle verticali alte fino a uscire direttamente in paese. Attrezzato per la maggior parte evitando il flusso diretto e i movimenti d'acqua nelle pozze, poiché la portata è molto alta anche in un anno come questo di siccità. A livello di verticalità da non sottovalutare per la presenza di diversi mancorrenti lunghi con tanti punti Intermedi, e un frazionamento spostato a dx raggiungibile solo con deviatore (inoltre la roccia è molto scivolosa) Grazie al team varesotto e anche a Paolo ... l'avvicinamento è segnato con bolli e frecce blu
Finally, after so many years, we managed to organize this descent! We found some equipment from a previous exploration, but it was completely inadequate and damaged by the floods, so we added what we needed to make the descent (chains, intermediate anchors for handrails)... A truly spectacular start in the “Caldaie d’Otro,” followed by a few smaller waterfalls, and a finale with other beautiful vertical sections rising high until we emerged directly in the village. Most of the route is equipped to avoid the direct current and water movement in the pools, since the flow rate is very high even in a year like this one, which has been marked by drought. In terms of vertical difficulty, this route should not be underestimated due to the presence of several long handrails with many intermediate anchors, and a belay station shifted to the right that’s accessible only via a bypass (plus, the rock is very slippery) Thanks to the Varese team and also to Paolo ... the approach is marked with blue tags and arrows
06.09 Tirol Strindenbach Lipp Niklas 3/5⭐ 💧
Alles soweit in Ordnung. Sehr viel Holz an manchen Stellen.
Everything looks fine so far. There's a lot of wood in some places.
06.09 Friuli Venezia Giulia Torrente La Foce LorenzGr 3/5⭐
Lower section only. The first 15 minutes are extremely slippery in open scenery. Then you enter the gorge. There are three drops. The first is on rope, on a recent chain anchor. The second is a nice dive, and there is also an old single anchor, backed up by a rope connected to a stuck log. The third is an awkward downclimb made easier by the large number of logs. There are several passages between logs, some quite awkward and others tricky due to several unstable logs that need to be checked and removed. At the exit, after 1 hour and 15 minutes, I found a crowd of swimmers on the banks of the Arzino and I immediately began the return to the car at the beginning. I returned to it in 40 minutes, mostly on the road. The first bends can be quickly cut off on a good trail in the woods, although you end up in a private home's garden. While I appreciate this type of canyon, the satisfaction was dampened by the numerous passages on often unstable logs. The descent didn't seem particularly advisable, especially considering the numerous alternatives available nearby.
06.09 Friuli Venezia Giulia Val Zemola Nicola 5/5⭐ 💧
Torrente sempre bello e carino, purtroppo poca acqua. presenza di carcassa in decomposizione di un piccolo ungulato all’arrivo della Ferratina nella calata 15
The stream is as beautiful and charming as ever, though unfortunately there’s not much water. There’s a decomposing carcass of a small ungulate at the start of the Ferratina on descent 15.
06.09 St. Gallen Zanaibach Peter Lampacher 4/5⭐ 💧
Bei diesem Wasserstand eine entspannte Tour. Alle notwendigen Verankerungen vorhanden und in gutem Zustand.
At this water level, it's a relaxing trip. All necessary moorings are in place and in good condition.
06.09 Tessin Nala inf Harald Gunz 3.5/5⭐ 💧
Haken in Ordnung. Nicht so rutschig wie der Mittelteil. Im Schlussteil und im Badebereich sehr viel los.
The anchors are fine. Not as slippery as the middle section. There's a lot going on in the final section and in the swimming area.
06.09 Tessin Nala int Harald Gunz 3/5⭐ 💧
Haken alle vorhanden im mittleren Teil. Leider sehr rutschig. Alle Rutschen sind aalglatt und dadurch gefährlich.
All the anchors are located in the middle section. Unfortunately, they're very slippery. All the slides are as slippery as an eel and therefore dangerous.
06.09 Kärnten Gössgraben Kren.Sebastian 4/5⭐ 💧
Begehung Bergrettung Canyoningrettungsgruppe Steiermark. Durch Revisionsarbeiten ist viel Geschiebe in den Pools, momentan sehr wenige Sprünge möglich (unbedingt vorher auschecken). Wasserstand gut.
Site inspection by the Styria Mountain Rescue Canyoning Rescue Team. Due to maintenance work, there is a lot of debris in the pools; very few jumps are currently possible (be sure to check conditions beforehand). Water level is good.
06.09 St. Gallen Cholschlagerbach I Elke Osswald 2.5/5⭐ 💧
Gemütliche Tour mit vielen Ausstiegsmöglichkeiten. Derzeit leider Badeverbot im Chapfensee Nähe Einstiegsparkplatz.
A leisurely hike with plenty of places to get off the trail. Unfortunately, swimming is currently prohibited in Lake Chapfensee near the parking entry.
