Introduction[edit]
Bouldery canyon with some pools to jumps, anchors are not easy to find, sometimes you'll need to improvise.
Approach[edit]
From the parking right at the exit of the canyon is a hiking path that goes up to the Furggtälli. Just follow that one and it'll lead you to the start of the canyon.
Descent[edit]
At the start, the canyon has some waterfalls with deep pools which can be jumped. Towards the end there are more and more boulders, and anchors are often hard to reach (on top of the boulders) or you need to find some natural anchors. Nevertheless, overall it is a nice canyon.
Exit[edit]
The canyon ends right where your car should be.

Background[edit]
There is a water capture above the canyon, so avoid going in there on hot days. Bringing a drill and anchors with you, definitely isn't a bad idea.
