Steinuschlüocht

not verifiedpermit unconfirmed 2026-08-19 Ungraded Unknown flood risk Ried-Brig, VS

Ten plus rappels through gneiss carved into narrow, sculpted channels, best run in autumn.

Anchor bolts are sparse: the first descent party rappelled off tree trunks in spots, so bring drilling gear or expect to improvise. A large water intake sits above the canyon, and the original first descent notes call the resulting setup none too safe.

Logistics

PermitRopeWiki's Red Tape section is empty and its infobox carries no Permits field, so access here is unverified rather than confirmed free. A large water intake above the canyon reduces flow during capture periods.
