Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Jolibach Beautiful weather (14 degC) but as expected cold water and no sun except in second part (tunnel).All anchors ok. Some anchors a bit difficult to reach, but well placed. Many rappels in flow, some might become difficult in high flow. C35 doable with 60 m rope (at least , under normal flow conditions).Approach in 45 min. We entered downstream of the short tunnel below the suspension bridge. After the tunnel, follow the path down, keep left, then rappel 12 m from a single anchor where the path ends. It seems that doing so you skip the first 3 descends. Done in 2:30 with 2.

Automatisch importiert von Schlucht.ch für Canyon Jolibach, Wasserstand: "oben wenig, unten tropfweise" Verankerungen: "gut, alles vorhanden" Landschaftlich immer etwas schönes... Grosse Abseilstelle beim Klettergarten ist nicht mehr brauchbar, besser ist es immer schön der rechten Wand entlang. Teilweise etwas glatt zum gehen.

Belle descente dans un magnifique encaissement, plutôt continue.Le captage au niveau de l'échappatoire réduit considérablement le débit. En cas de fort débit, certains passages doivent être assez technique.Parcouru en 2h30 à deux. (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon-debit/23077/observations.html)
