Really pleasant with several jumps at the begin and in the middle.
Quite everywere single points, some of them missing; to be considered explorative and bring some safety equipment cause high water can often take away anchor points.
Very beautiful geology in the final part.
Really enjoyable, with several jumps at the beginning and in the middle.
There are anchor points scattered throughout, though some are missing; treat this as an exploratory route and bring some safety gear, as high water can often wash away anchor points.
The geology in the final section is very beautiful.
