Itinerary description

Re-equipped by Creps de Vallon in 2021. However, I failed to find the new bolts on the first slab, the old stuff worked but the rebelay on the slab in very poor condition. Presumably the new stuff is there somewhere.
I found the new bolts down the rest of the canyon.
This walk-in eliminates all the uninteresting vegetated upper part of the canyon.
Rappels: 38m + 28m (grand slab), 13m, 8m + 37m (cascade de Dietrich upper), 30m (cascade de Dietrich lower).
Pleasant half-day if done with spring flow.
(Trail drawn by hand after doing the canyon and marking waypoints.)

Based on information from other teams, you can apparently also descend here.
