09.12 Canarias Gambuezas Jeroen Kirchner 4/5⭐ 💧
Great descent to do in full with 2 cars and sunset on Teide on the return trip. We entered the canyon at 1450, exited 680. In the upper part a few natural anchors and spits (could be completed), lower part has been recently rebolted with extra 12mm steel anchors, on top of the glue-in bolts. We went through with machete + drill. Full descent takes 6-8hrs + car logistics.
08.12 Madeira Faja das Eguas Christian Balla 2.5/5⭐ 💧
Netter Anfängercanyon aber nichts besonders
Nice beginner canyon but nothing special
30.11 Bern Trümmelbach V Bina 5/5⭐ 💧
Etwas mehr Wasser als vor zwei Wochen. Noch kein Eis in der Schlucht. Zustieg auch kein Problem.
A little more water than two weeks ago. Still no ice in the canyon. Access also no problem.
29.11 Πελοποννήσου Gerakina, Φαράγγι Γερακίνα Theda 2/5⭐ 💧
Beginn des Zustiegs siehe Karte. Alles ok. Sammlerstück.
See map for start of access. Everything ok. Collector's item.
28.11 Canarias Herques sup. Jeroen Kirchner 1.5/5⭐ 💧
Collector canyon. Neighbouring Volcán canyon has the better scenery and is less monotonous. Also in Herques inf. the walking is less teduous. Given the few repetitions some downclimbing is unbolted & some single anchors remain (single steel maillons).
28.11 Δυτικής Ελλάδας Vilivina, , Φαράγγι Βιλιβίνας Theda 4/5⭐ 💧
Schöne Tour. Alles ok. Nur bis zur Brücke (Piste/Zwischenausstieg) begangen.
Nice tour. Everything ok. Only walked up to the bridge (slope/intermediate exit).
28.11 Πελοποννήσου Milon, Φαράγγι Μύλων Theda 4/5⭐ 💧
Alles in Ordnung. Schöne Tour. Die wahre Herausforderung war der Anmarsch durch das Waldbrandbaumleichenmassaker.
Everything in order. Nice tour. The real challenge was the approach through the forest fire tree massacre.
26.11 Autónoma da Madeira Pedra Branca Casa Vento Madeira 4/5⭐ 💧
Nach ein paar Tagen mit Regenfällen ein sportlicher aber gut machbarer Wasserstand. Auch die hohen Wellen, die man am Stand des Schlusswasserfalls schön beobachten kann, waren eindrucksvoll.
After a few days of rain, this was a sporty but manageable water level. The high waves, which can be observed beautifully at the level of the final waterfall, were also impressive.
24.11 Canarias Volcán Jeroen Kirchner 4/5⭐ 💧
Short version is described here, but the lower part is a very scenic-volcanic hike, with caves that may have been inhabited by the Guanches. It would be a shame to miss it. We continued until shortly before the highway, exited right to the secondary road + 5min of crosscountry to the highway exit and tunnel, which takes us back to the car at Cafeteria Los Roques (3-4hr) continuing to the beach would also be an option.
