One of the best explorations I've ever seen.......very nice and demanding canyon :

It's a real wonderful canyon with incredible colors and a lot of different rocky shapes!

One of the longest and hardest race I think , with Chamje Khola in Nepal

Thanks Holzi for this nice link!

Wow !

Impressionant Le mec qui est allé posé les guidés à du sacrement se faire brasser en passant en premier!
J'espère qu'il y aura d'autres articles sur la préparation et la logistique (a trois pendant 13 jours avec des sacs de 30kgs, ça parait juste ).

They used very often floating bags to set up the guidés for the first person. That works good for the light Asians

Il est la le 4/4

I wonder how they did for the autonomy drill for ten days I imagine they would carry a lot of batterys for the drill. It seems impossible to do naturals in this canyon.

I wrote to the team leader of this trip and asked the same question:
- They did in advanced an exploration from the bottom (which was the first kind of canyoning in the Asian countries) so it was partially already equipped, although I think only a very small section.
- They bring one drill with 3 batteries so they are able to drill +/- 80-100 bolts.
- They used three different kind of bolts:
8mm x 35mm for intermediate belay and traverse
8mm x 45mm for guided rappelling
8mm x 55mm or 8mm x 75mm screw bolts which are removable

They bring also some pitons and cams.

All equipment was very minimalistic, I don't know if I would hang on an 8mm x 35mm bolt

Bon elle est ou la fiche ??? Oh les japonais au boulot

Joli!!
It seems to be about 18km, part of it being walking. I'd like to know the whole story, such as why did it take 13 days and so on!
Cool

Japanese quality and weight

Ils ont du faire l expé en combi "taille one" ces japonais!!

Je viens de prendre le temps de regarder toutes leurs photos et putain c'est carrément un truc de dingue.
Ca écrabouille tout ce qu'on a pu connaitre en Europe en terme de beauté et d'engagement. Les 3 petits Japonais sont vraiment balaises, cette expé sur 13 jours est hallucinante
