All the stitches are in place. We just had to tighten a few. The C110 was lowered 3x (45+38+45). Access to the belay after the arch is not easy, as it's far from the descent axis. We were able to make most of the jumps, including S8 and S9. We didn't manage to contact the dam. As a result, we had to make our own risk assessment based on the level in the dam and the flow upstream. Incredible atmosphere. A truly magnificent canyon
