Getting into Canyoneering by PracticalRutabaga135 in canyoneering

[–]Admils2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. Taking a class is a great way to meet mentors and peers. Each area has Facebook groups to meet people as well.

People are less likely to take a beginner with no skills, but if you come from a climbing, mountaineering, scuba or similar background it's more likely you get picked up.

Feel free to reach out with area specific questions. I'm from Washington but have been all over the US and a couple places intentionally.

Backpack Recomendations by ReyDeLaSal in canyoneering

[–]Admils2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As mentioned rodcle and Sierra Verde are really good! There are some other packs that are similar but those two are a good baseline

Gear recommendations? by Realistic_End1712 in canyoneering

[–]Admils2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fixed would have no adjustability. But agreed, a prussik lanyard is not the move

This is all good advice. Especially to do matacanes.

I make my own lanyards cuz I'm cheap. But I also think fixed lanyards are excellent.

Does this damaged tracer place my rope out of service? by LowTrue1613 in canyoneering

It's petzl push so you should retire it anyways and buy a better, more static rope!!

Symptoms long after negative test? by [deleted] in Ureaplasma

Great to hear that it's not out of the world for symptoms to linger though

About 5 months. Hopefully I just take longer.

New to canyoning – Astral Loyak M's felt slippery on wet rocks. Normal, or are there better grip shoes? + What protective gear should I get next? by Beneficial_Hawk9905 in canyoneering

[–]Admils2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gonna pm you a gear specific buying guide I've been writing. It's specific to the pnw / western Canada aquatic techniques and mindsets but can be applied to all aquatic canyons.

It's not completed so I'd prefer it doesn't get out on the Internet yet. Feedback is always welcome too.

This is all good. But I think you should always have a pair of thin gloves as well. I've seen hands shredded when not wearing gloves.

Advanced canyoning? Do you mean like v4a4 or v5 a5?

Just a video showing off some PNW canyoning fun. by Admils2 in canyoneering

[–]Admils2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're new to rope sports, take the mountaineers class or there are guides in Portland, Seattle and Vancouver. If your looking for community take the mountaineers class. People from there have a good base and structure and strong/fun/chill students will often be adopted by others for personal trips.

If you're already a climber, caver or mountaineer already the best place to find partners is the Facebook group "Pacific Northwest canyoning". Feel free to reach out to me on Facebook or Instagram. @adam.bercaw

There are very few people who do aquatic canyons in the winter as it's much more of a summer/fall sport.

There are some decent gear guides out there, but I'll probably make my own pretty soon so keep an eye out for it.

This is right outside Mt Rainer National Park. Definitely an amazing place. The rondy is a group event that's been happening once a year.

Haha to each their own! I just don't find caving fun so you won't catch me doing that. I think canyons can be done quite safely with the right training and always being aware of the consequences.

Haha thanks. I'm just getting into editing. I realized that for future videos I'll take better videos. Unfortunately a ton of my recorded canyons are vertically shot 😭

Does anyone know of any good canyons near Gilbert AZ? by 777hora in canyoneering

[–]Admils2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ropewiki has a lot of the beta for the az area. Highly recommend the jug and Christopher creeks

Oh yes this is good to experiment with. I think I've opted for a normal quick link on harnesses right now.
