Done in 2h40+a good 8 hours in the canyon. Easy car shuttle on the N-side, fllwd by a beautiful approach with views towards Monte Rosa & Domodossola. We started in upper Rio Menta, but the first 200m are lost walking down (next time we would try the waterfall a little further on the trail which takes its water from the lake & is visible from the approach). We reinforced or changed location of a few anchors. Top to bottom there are now quite a few new m10 Tebylon anchors, but also glued & 8mm old ones. For the lovers of long days, bigger abseils, lush pools and boulderhopping.
