12.09 Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Vallon Jeroen Kirchner 3/5⭐ 💧
Scenic long approach. A more direct version from the village should exist but seems in disuse. The short but interesting canyoning part did deliver a few splashy abseils in a cold, dark, almost austere atmosphere. Anchoring is so so, overall it needs a review, as a minimum some extra quicklinks for the anchors with no maillons. We only doubled the first after which we did with what we found.
12.09 Friuli Venezia Giulia Torrente Pezzeda Matteok2 5/5⭐ 💧
Sceso oggi in 3 parte alta. Ancoraggi insufficienti e pochi inox. Parte bassa la prima calata 2 ancoraggi tranciati!portata molto alta. Forra molto molto bella e selvaggia. Merita di essere sistemata a livello ancoraggi.
I rappelled down the upper section in three pitches today. Insufficient anchors and few stainless-steel ones. On the lower section, the first rappel had two sheared anchors! Very high water flow. A very, very beautiful and wild gorge. It deserves to have its anchors fixed up.

12.09 Salzburg Fischbach (Bluntautal) Clarissa Linder 4/5⭐ 💧
Schlucht auch um die Mittagszeit wegen tiefem Sonnenstand nur teilweise sonnig. Sprünge/Rutschen machbar.
Even at noon, the canyon is only partly sunny because the sun is low in the sky. Jumps and slides are doable.
12.09 Salzburg Tauglklamm Clarissa Linder 3/5⭐ 💧
Haben das Fixseil wegen einem Mantelriss entfernt! Rest top.
We removed the fixed rope because of a tear in the sheath! Everything else was great.
12.09 Tessin Valle del Chignolasc Roe_Noerd 4/5⭐ 💧
Sehr tiefer Wasserstand. So verliert die Schlucht einen Teil ihrer Ernsthaftigkeit. Achtung!: Beim 65m Abseiler hat es einen robusten Kettenstand. Aber das Maillon zum Abseilen ist sehr groß. Es ist so groß, dass der 8er durchrutschen könnte, für den Fall, dass er nicht rückgesichert wird. Für den letzten geht das aber nicht. Ich erachte diese Situation als Risiko.
The water level is very deep. This makes the canyon seem a little less imposing. Caution!: There’s a sturdy chain anchor at the 65-meter rappel. But the link in the rappel line is very large. It’s so large that the #8 could slip through if it isn’t belayed. However, that’s not possible for the last climber. I consider this situation a risk.
12.09 Friuli Venezia Giulia Rio Fondaris Martin Jasek 4/5⭐ 💧
A fantastic canyon, the high water level made for a great experience. It was easy to avoid the strong currents at the waterfalls, and we even used the second anchor point at the final waterfall. We did the trip with a single car—the approach was hassle-free, though the return hike to the car was quite strenuous, even with blue-dot markers making navigation easier.

1 Stand beschädigt aber machbar
1 Condition: damaged but still usable
12.09 Friuli Venezia Giulia Chiantone-Vinadia Martin Jasek 4/5⭐ 💧
We only did the lower section, but the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The gate was closed, and finding the spot to rappel down to the "window" was a bit tricky—drone footage really helped. A good tip is to stick to the ridge and avoid turning left into the woods onto the wrong path. We enjoyed the tunnels just as much as the canyon itself. Everything in the canyon was great—the rappels and the cold pools, all set against breathtaking views of the surrounding area.
