<div class="triptitle">Canyonning - Strubklamm</div>
<p>A canyonning trip was suggested, and as I'd done it a couple of
times before and thus knew where it was, and what to look out for, it
was easy to blag my way on. We had this idea a bit later in the day
than was ideal, because Strubklamm is miles away (most of the way back
to Salzburg), but it also meant that I was able to collect Tess from
the station before buggering off like a very naughty husband. I had
brought my new wetsuit and was eager to find out if it made Strubklamm
into a much less cold-and-miserable experience than previous
attempts. I was also able to borrow a (kayaking) helmet and neoprene
booties from Julia, which, combined with some sandals and spare caving
gloves, was enough kit to canyon (as this one doesn't actually need a
harness if you can manage an 8m jump).</p>
<p>We were going to take my van and Charlotte's car but Tess wanted
the Van, and it's a long way to take two cars, so when PhilB appeared
we pounced on him and made him drive all 5 of us there (Charlote in
the boot). This was very kind as it's about 1hr40 mins each way, and
he doesn't even get to do the canyon. Having a driver avoids all the
shuttle-faff too, which is great, especialy as it turned out the
huttle-road was closed for works, so there was quite a long
drive-around which would have made us even later.</p>
<p>This was Isaac and Charlotte's 1st ever canyonning trip, and
Marie's 2nd (after the disastrously cold 'Haute Borne' in the
Ardeche), but we were a crack team of potholers with two harnesses
between us so what could possibly go wrong?</p>
<p>In fact the descent was very smooth with everyone having fun, at
least to start with. The water was quite a pleasant temperature,
although every inlet was much colder so we got a chilly bit every so
often as they came in. However it is longer than I remember and there
is a _lot_ of swimming, with a long section in the middle starting
with a canyon, and then a couple more long swims. Clearly the local
canyonning school uses it a lot so there were lots of in-situ ropes
for getting to good takeoffs and dealing with any slippery bits, or
just abseiling if you didn't like the bigger jumps. (Marie skipped the
biggest one).</p>
<p>Much jumping fun was had, with Charlotte of course taking to the
game with gusto, although neither of us was any good at keeping the
water out of our noses on impact, and I managed to bite my tongue on
one jump, which was dim. Everyone avoided broken ankles or being
impaled on trees, just some coughing and spluttering.</p>
<p>I hardly recognised any of the 2nd half as obviously my brain had
shut down with the chilly misery on the previous two attempts after
the 1st long swim. This time it was all rather lovely - it is a _very_
pretty canyon. Marie found herself a bit short of stoke after the 1st
half, partly due to the baggy 2mm wetsuit and partly not having
evtirely recovered from the great chunder trip. 1.4km of canyonning
(with ~400m of swimming) over 3 hours feels like quite a long
way, and it was a relief to swim round a corner and finally see a
slackline being rigged and a footbridge with a beach which marks the
escape.</p>
<p>Phil was even there to rescue us, so that all worked out
nicely. Good trip, and it's a lot nicer with 5 than 10 but still takes
a solid 3 hours. We got back about 7pm.</p>

In 2023, I was poking around the area around dm-04 while Ash surveyed it with possibly Eli from Cardiff. There are several interesting shafts in the area, including the one I dropped today. This shaft was under a fissure with a few boulders in the roof. Rocks dropped in create an impressive BOOM.

<p>
On the trip back from Garlic, Isaac and I visited the shaft with actual vertical gear and some Petzl Pulses. While Isaac nipped down to Homecoming to find a drill bit, I scouted the rigging. The rock at the top was a bit funky due to frost etc. After a bit of beating, I identified places to set some pulses. Isaac returned with the drill and I quickly drilled a few holes and placed the pulses.
