Teilweise veralgt, vorallem direkt im Wasserlauf.
Mausefalle sind wir links auf den Stein geklettert.
Sonst super Bedingungen und ein schöner canyon.
Partly covered in algae, especially directly in the watercourse.
We climbed the mousetrap on the rock on the left.
Otherwise superiore conditions and a beautiful canyon.
