Summary:
Valea Rea Canyon is a technical canyon featuring long abseils down chutes or fracture zones with a significant volume of water. The route is notable for its frequent changes of direction during the descent, a distinctive feature of the canyons in the Făgăraș Mountains. Here, the hard rock and sharp edges present a harsh environment, yet the canyon remains exceptionally spectacular, leaving us with a beautiful memory.
