Der canyon wird sehr schnell sehr eng.
Meist nur wenig unter den umliegenden Geröllfeldern und wiesen.
Zwei höhere stufen (30m), eine davon ist der Wasserfall an den man im zustieg vorbei gekommen ist.
Viele enge Kletterstellen in bestem Fels.
Aufpassen bei zu viel Wasser, dies ist nicht nur kalt sondern auch meist komprimiert.
The canyon quickly becomes very narrow.
Mostly just below the surrounding boulder fields and meadows.
Two higher steps (30m), one of which is the waterfall you passed on the access.
Many narrow climbing sections in the best rock.
Be careful with too much water, it is not only cold but also mostly compressed.

Das Einzugsgebiet wirkt klein, besteht aber zum grössten teil aus der Eiger Nordwand und hat somit meist zu viel Wasser oder Eis.
The catchment area appears small, but consists mainly of the north face of the Eiger and therefore usually has too much water or ice.
