Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Orlier Changé quelques sangles et remis un point. Canyon bien encombré de bois et de... pneus. Glissant. Tout de même intéressant ! (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon-debit/21375/observations.html)

Bit of an adventure canyon. Used a tree 2x to enter the stream. Anchors aging, some are natural anchors with recent Kordas, we added Ce4y ropes. One piece of webbing was strangling a tree, we cut it free. Added 1 bolt on top of a stuck boulder, lower it gets better. Final section: 3 abseils on the right bank (suddenly very slippery, keep right, out of the flow as soon as poss.), had to look for the final abseil which was hiding on the left bank, 65m. & full of rainbows.

Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Orlier Très peu d'eau, pas du tout entre les deux gros embacles, beaucoup de relais sont en monopoint mais pour de petites hauteur. On a rééquiper certaine relais et celui de la première C60 qui était arraché. (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon-debit/21375/observations.html)
