03.11.2025 Jeroen Kirchner ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 High Completed
Impressive amount of water after days of rain, doable because the receptions are flat (no pools or movements to be tackled). Started with the Saut Girard. It has a chain on a tree, but most are recent single ropes on a tree or the occasional chained anchor. The only spot to improve would be the access to the c60. We had someone following us to avoid issues with hikers.

Automatisch importiert von Descente-Canyon.com für Canyon Hérisson Canyon réaliser à 2 en 2h30 départ du saut de la forge. Débit correct (eau pas froide). Nous avons reequiper pas mal de rapel (sur arbre). Pas mal de spectateurs tout le long de la descente. Équipement nikel après notre passage Ps il est possible de faire 1 jolie cascade en plus en amont du saut de la forge (le saut girard) (prévoir équipement sur arbre à poser). Pour la Cascade de l'éventail nous avons trouver le relais au centre de la cascade mais un des 2 points est à changer car il bouge beaucoup. Nous avons donc utilisé le relais en rive gauche. Canyon mangiffffique. (Quelle: https://www.descente-canyon.com/canyoning/canyon-debit/2204/observations.html)
