06.07.2025 Rio Costa Stretta MirkoT ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔
On the first three rappels, singles would need to be dubbed and small rapid links replaced. After a few minor rappels the new Austrian chains appear and persist until the exit. Continuous gorge far more challenging (and long) than the Rivis. For the approach, the traverse to the Costa Stretta, just before reaching the Rivis bed, is well-trodden, although it has no blue bolts. After 100 meters of traverse climb steeply to the left in a zig zag, also beaten, and pass a cavern (tributary from right bank Costa Stretta) and then hold the ledge slightly uphill until you reach the bed, the beginning of our descent. Pollution none.
28.06.2025 Bares MirkoT ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔
It is reported that yesterday's descent was completed smoothly by a group from Como.
21.06.2025 Val Fogare (superiore) MirkoT ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ?
It is reported that from elevation 1150 up to 640 (beginning of lower part) all arms are ok. Three-hour approach. On the approach, after the junction to Mont Alt (follow right slightly downhill) the trail has been cleared of large branches in between and marked with cairns.
15.06.2025 Resio MirkoT ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ✔
Weapons ok (restored lanyard to exit hanging puddle on left) and many dives doable. Exact locations of dives are best known if you have a local who knows it by heart. Two 20m ropes may suffice.
08.06.2025 Soffia (amont) MirkoT ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 High Completed ?
Many doable dives and lots of walking in resounding corridors. In a couple of rappels, hourglasses are used as armoires. For gorge entrance, you can leave CAI trail 871 to descend into a scree and arrive at elevation 1080 in the gorge. Two hours approach for two hours in the gorge. Photo 1 second pool is plungeable Photo 2 green pool Photo 3 corridor toward the end Photo 4 top meander
01.06.2025 Val de L'Ardo MirkoT ★★★★★ 📖 ★★★ ★★★ 💧 Normal Completed ?
Less than 3 hours of travel time to exit at the bridge at elevation 1150. Escape route on the left at elevation 1280 (photo 2). Photo 1 is beginning of the gorge. Photo 3 the magnificent highest rappel (with diverter on right bank). Photo 4 the first rappel semi-submerged by a landslide (shortly after is another much shorter semi-submerged rappel).
