From Alpe Colla take the hiking path to the tributary river coming in the canyon at the start. you can down climb on the right bank (relatively easy, but high exposure). We rebolted 1 rappel stand that was missing. and optimalised 2 other with handlines to improve very sketchy/slippery exposed acces. most of the other 31 abseils are bolted in M8 that took a beating by high water, not in to good shape. for the moment ok but take precautions and be prepared to rebolt once and a while. Very nice canyon, especially the final part

Schöner Abschluss zum Gerbach. Einige Sprünge möglich, an der Stelle mit dem Handlauf links muss man bei den beiden kleineren Sprüngen aber gut schauen wegen der Verklausung und einigen Steinen! Rückweg muss nicht querfeldein weglos durch den Wald gehen - es gibt ein paar m weiter einen gemütlichen Forstweg (ändere ich noch in der Beschreibung). Mit einem charmanten Lächeln gibt's manchmal sogar auch eine Mitfahrgelegenheit ;)

A nice finish to the Gerbach trail. There are a few jumps along the way, but at the spot with the handrail on the left, you’ll need to watch your step on the two smaller jumps because of the fallen trees and some rocks! The way back doesn’t have to be cross-country through the woods without a trail—there’s an easy forest path a few meters further on (I’ll update the description). With a charming smile, you might even get a ride sometimes ;)

Typical torrent de montagne in dark grey rock. Stable weather is a must, the area has a high chance of rockfall and debris. In summer conditions, this descent possibly needs no wetsuit whereas in Spring.... We doubled the first anchor and added a lunule (local word for abalakov) left, where a chain on the right is no longer reached after the river bed has changed, to help with the downclimb. The other anchors are a mix (mostly doubled, often slightly impacted, also Petzl longlifes and a mix of metals). Updated the file. Good combo to do with Vallon in the morning.

Auch nach Regen noch gut zu begehen. Farbe der Becken leider eher braun-gelb als türkis wie auf den Bildern. Sehr rutschig und einige Stände daher schwer zu erreichen.

Still easy to walk on even after rain. Unfortunately, the color of the pools is more brownish-yellow than turquoise, as shown in the pictures. Very slippery, making some spots difficult to reach.

A very nice canyon—everything was top-notch—though we did run into a minor issue due to our own mistake: the rope got stuck at the second rappel station while we were pulling it down from below. A nice three-hour trip (car-to-car).

Upper part lot of walking en swimming, a few dirty Pools And a lot of trees, lowerpart was fun

The upper part had a lot of walking and swimming, a few dirty pools, and a lot of trees; the lower part was fun

Conditions were good after a few days of rain. It’s a really nice canyon with plenty of rappels, though the rope got damaged in several places—and we don't know exactly where. I also left a carabiner behind at the first rappel station; I hope it brings the finder as much joy as it did me.

Alles in Ordnung

Everything in order

Klares aber eher kühles Wasser. Alle Sprünge und Rutschen mit Vorsicht machbar.

Clear but rather cool water. All the jumps and slides can be done with caution.

War ein Spass heute, alles springbar, das erste Becken (R30) ist aber sehr aufgekiest, ich würde dort nicht übertreiben mit der Höhe des fallenlassens. Weiter unten hat sich ein Holzklotz verklemmt bei dem sich das Seil leicht verhaken kann, da schnell ausziehen, dann geschieht nix. Den Holzklotz sieht man gut. Ausserdem war es öfters sehr rutschig.

It was fun today—everything was jumpable—but the first pool (R30) is very gravelly; I wouldn't go too high off there. Further down, a wooden block has gotten stuck where the ropes can easily snag—pull it out quickly, and nothing will happen. You can see the wooden block clearly. It was also very slippery in several places.

Der Zustieg ist gut machbar. Früher start lohnt sich, dann ist zu dieser Jahreszeiten noch einiges im Schatten. In der Mitte hatte des eine H2O Stelle ausgeschrieben, diese war trocken. Der Canyon ist eine super schöne Schlucht. Heute war der meiste Teil trocken. In der Mitte hatten wir für etwas 5 Abseiler etwas Wasser. Das war klar und hat dem Ambiente gut getan. Einmal mussten wir auch durch einen Gumpen durch. (Klares Wasser keine Schlangen.) Im Superior hatten wir zwei bis drei dunkle, eklige Tümpel die man aber gut um gehen konnte... Grüsse gehen raus an unsere Vorgänger! Sehr sehr viele Frösche und viele Schlangen! Im Inferiore gab es eben Falls zwei, drei Tümpel, die schon schwieriger zu um gehen waren. Für einen sind wir etwas an der Wand hinauf geklettert und an einer Sanduhr mit dem Wasser links abgeseilt, so dass wir am Tümpel vorbei kamen. Mit den originalen Ankern wäre das nicht möglich gewesen! Schlangen und Frösche grüßen wieder! Haken alle in Ordnung. Zwei bis drei Mal hätte man aus der Schlucht aussteigen können.

The access is quite manageable. It’s worth starting early; at this time of year, there’s still quite a bit in the shade. There was a section marked as “H2O” in the middle, but it was dry. The canyon is a really beautiful canyon. Today, most of it was dry. In the middle, there was a bit of water for about five rappellers. It was clear and added to the atmosphere. We also had to wade through a shallow pool once. (Clear water, no snakes.) In the Superior section, we encountered two or three dark, gross pools, but they were easy to bypass… Shout-out to the hikers who went before us! So, so many frogs and lots of snakes! In the Inferiore, there were also two or three pools that were a bit harder to go around. For one of them, we climbed up the wall a bit and rappelled down on the left side of an hourglass-shaped section with the water, so we could get past the pool. That wouldn’t have been possible with the original anchors! Snakes and frogs say hello again! All the anchors are in good condition. There were two or three spots where we could have exited the canyon.
