Immer wieder schöne Stellen die durch Blöcke unterbrochen werden. Haken wurden im Oktober 2025 neu eingebohrt, manche Stellen lassen sich aber nicht gut schützen, also ist es besser Setzzeugs dabei zu haben.
Again and again beautiful places that are interrupted by blocks. Anchors were re-drilled in October 2025, but some places cannot be protected well, so it is better to have some climbing gear with you.

Wohl der lohnendste Canyon der Unlohnenden, oder umgekehrt, ich kann mich nicht entscheiden. Lohnend weil die Abseiler sehr cool sind, unlohnend weil es einfach zu oft 100m an Blöcke gibt zwischen den guten Stellen.
Probably the most rewarding canyon of the unrewarding ones, or vice versa, I can't decide. Rewarding because the rappels are very cool, unrewarding because there are simply too many 100m blocks between the good spots.
