Kronburger Schlucht Schönwies (Landeck)

Enchainement de 40 rappels les uns derriere les autres. Canyon ostere avec une roche magnifique

We started at the second entry, just before the footbridge. Very deep and narrow canyon. Lots of fun, smaller rappels quickly after one another, very little walking in between. The state of the anchors differs a lot between rappels. Some newer monopoints, some some new chains on older (but ok) bolt, some new bolts with old rusty chains, some old anchors that should be replaced. A lot of old hardware still in the walls. Canyon could use a good clean up. Relaxed descent in about 2.5h, can probably also be done in 1.5h. Very nice flow, enough to get a little wet, but nothing dangerous. This second part, with this flow, much easier than v5a5. Path next to canyon blocked by trees, accessible but probably easier to take the longer official path. Escape not found.

Grundsätzlich ist eine Begehung ab dem Tunnel zur Zeit möglich. Die wichtisten Stände wurden bereits durch neue Haken ersetzt. Zwei Stände sind grenzwärtig da die Haken defekt sind und erneuert werden müssen. Durchfluss war gering und das Wasser leider nicht mehr ganz klar.

Water is coming down brown and more than usual. Surprisingly long since last week's storm

Currently great conditions, clear water, high sun, sometimes a bit slippery. Rain last night did not affect the flow. Done first 3/4 of the canyon. On the c15 make sure to use the intermediate anchor (left of the hanging pool) because ropes are almost guaranteed to get stuck in between the boulders. Anchors all ok.

Done the lower part via the escape route. Removed some of the last critically damaged or obsolete anchors and fixed ropes in the flow or flood. Still is a bit of a museum with chains at unreachable heights. The lower part is the least challenging with not so much exposure, compromise and less rope (some 28m. incl. pull back).

Challenging!! Upper part completely iced, but the hardest parts are after the water release, it created some dangerous basetraps. Several ice structures on the sides but only one anchor had completely disappeared under the ice. Partially proves to me that the 2022 bolting was already more intelligently placed than the previous. Added one anchor (doubled one). Next group should clean/remove the fixed ropes to protect and avoid unnecessary stress on the bolting with next flood.

Bei E1 eingestiegen. Alle Bohrhaken und Ketten vorhanden. Die Abseilstellen wurden im Juni saniert. Aktuell sehr gute Bedingungen.

All ok. Very low flow to dry in the upper part. Only one anchor was newly covered in mud+pebbles (from above). 30min approach, steep along the gorge until the trail turns faint, access after the tunnel. 2h30 fast descent. 3-4 hrs with a group. Some intermediate anchors are placed for the rope not to get stuck when pulling back.

Removed 24 destroyed anchors and left the canyon much more beautiful again. Until the next flood, because a handful of anchors, handlines and cables are still exposed and expected to suffer. Remember to bring complete bolting kit to this canyon. And enjoy this top canyon :)

8 new anchors for the upper Kronburgbach today, supported by CanyonZone.com, to use combined with some of the damaged ones (especially the 2nd abseil is in full flood - it would need a handline to reach a protected ledge on the left bank - the right bank is damaged, but will do for now...) Commercial groups: kindly remove fixed ropes (at the end of the season at least) to avoid further unnecessary wear on the anchors.

The rigging/bolting is really bad. A lot of anchors are placed in bad spots. The next big flood will destroy some. A few of the recently placed bolts weren't screwed in properly (lower part). I recommend bringing an allenkey. Whoever placed them did a poor Job.

Accès amont juste après le petit tunnel. Fait en 2h10 à 3 grâce au débit correct.

la description de la fiche ne correspond pas a la réalité : il s’agît d’un canyon ne présentant pas de difficultés particulières en conditions normales de pratique c’est à dire avec un debit assez faible estival. on enchaine rappel sur rappel dans une gorge impressionnante et bien taillée mais l'ensemble est gâché par les multiples restes d’équipements mal placés et ravagés par les crues, par les troncs et un aspect ravin à lave torrentielle. Ambiance austère. Toutes les vasques sont comblées on a pied partout.

un peu moins de 2h à 3. PArtie haute equipement vieillisant et pas protégé des crues.

Never seen so many damaged and ill-placed anchors. Even a complete bolting kit did not suffice...

Attention tout complet c'est un long descent! Si vous etes du primers dans la saisons prendre du spits and pitons!!! Le crue son bestiels...

On a été surpris du niveau d'eau par rapport à nederbach, sportif mais largement faisable. Préféré la marche d'accés, la navette est trop longue!!! Beaucoup de rappels, et de petit mais avec un niveau d'eau sportif, on les a tous prit!!! beaucoup d'arbres sont tombés dans le canyon, l'encaissement est constant, très peu voir pas d'échappatoire. Un au milieu du parcour en RG et celui de la partie inf en RD!!! Très polué par les vielles cordes, des chaussures, vêtements!!!!!! on a tout embarqué
