Last Friday Laso, Timo and I opened a great line trough the highest waterfall in Switzerland, the Seerenbachfall.
We entered at the bridge 1190m.
The first part is amazingly nice with nice shaped rock and some jumps and slides. This part was already opened and published on schluchttour.ch years ago (we found one anchor).
After that first part the big face wall starts with an amazing view over the Walensee and the Glarnerland.
Officially measured the whole waterfall is 585m in height. http://www.waterfall.ch/index.php?N1_ID ... guageID=de
The three main sections of this waterfall are 50m, 305m, 190m.
We splitted the 305m waterfall in four parts: 70-80m, 70-80m, 70-80m, 110m (maybe Timo will correct me
)In know this gives more than 305m but we added with the last 110m one more step which probably does not count to the 305m.
However, the real highlight is kept to the very end
190m cascade, of which are 150m free hanging and directly in the main water
We used a brand new 200m rope, sponsored by Mammut to realize this amazing descent.
Probably the worldwide highest freehanging abseil done in the water.
For all the repeaters:
The rope hangs still at the last waterfall as it would have been probably too hard to pull it down (200m of rope directly in the waterflow)
Go before the winter and ice comes, so the rope will be still in good conditions, or you can take it down when you think you are able to do it
Here some impressions:
