11.08.2025 Jeroen Kirchner ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔
First descent. Exploratory anchors: often single, many abalakovs (small diameter, will have to be changed) but also a few double in the last waterfall. Special caution is required with rope pulling in the big waterfall: it is split up in 3, but knots in the rope & uneasy positioning may complicate things. Canyon is all about the sunny, wide open views and location at the foot of several 4000'ers.
