19.07.2024 Boggera (Inferiore) yuc ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Low Completed ✔
A critical description from the descente-canyon https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon-description/2662/topo.html is about how to descend the very last waterfall "A beautiful 27m waterfall that can end in a slide by pulling well to the right and arriving in a pool, followed by a slide that must be taken slightly to the right outside the vein of water (step below)." (translated by google) Note: "left" and "right" follow the downstream/canyoning direction. "taken slightly to the right" is the YELLOW line (check my uploaded photo), and the left side is the RED line. On the left side of the wall, there are two bolts with an orange handline hanging there. - DO NOT slide down the left side(RED line), and I was lucky only to have a painful bruise on my butt. - Handline DO NOT indicate you can slide without any precaution. The safety principle is not to slide or jump without seeing the whole trajectory and the landing point; rappel with the rope instead! In this case, I used the handline to walk out on the edge and tried to check the basin below; though I still couldn't see the landing point when standing on the edge, I made the wrong call to slide down on the left(RED line). According to those links: - Video from Canyoning Tirol's fb https://fb.watch/txM64A6Pqx/ - photos uploaded by the user excalibur https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon-photo/2662/photographie.html indicates that you might be able to slide down the right side (yellow line), but there is no safety guarantee for that. You need to make your own judgment.

We walked the pavement road in hot weather. The approach had no tree shadow... making this canyon less worthy. It's better to come here on a cloudy day with more previous rain accumulation. All anchors are good.

There is one place on the left side of the canyon with 2 to 3 glue-in anchors (they look like this: https://www.climbingtechnology.com/en/professional-en/metal_anchors/fixed/glue-in_anchor_hcr), which are connected with rusty and half-broken wires. These cut my finger. I hope someone can retrieve these old wires in the future. Another bolt is in better condition on the right side, so try to avoid the glue-in anchors on the left side with broken wires. I didn't take any photos of it. (right and left follow the downstream direction) It is a lovely, well-curved canyon, short, and with less pressure on time.

We came here after a rainy day and it was nice. All anchors are in good condition.

Only the first anchor has two points; all the rest are single points. The anchors are mixed with M8 aluminum (or non-stainless steel?) and M10 stainless steel. The oldest anchors are M8 Aluminum Petzl Hanger (look like this https://vintageclimbing.com/products/hanger). - We replaced two rusty maillons with 8mm galvanized steel one. - We took down one worn-out orange rope, because there is another well-bolted anchor nearby. - We rappeled with the existing bolts and didn't feel unsafe, but use them at your own risk. - We met some snow in the middle of the riverbed, but walking beneath/around it was easy and fun. Be sure to come to this canyon after the snow has mostly melted, because the snow can literally block the passage. - Approach trails are not obvious in the middle, but it is not hard to find the correct direction. - Rocks are mostly not slippery.
