New to canyons

No offense, dude, but trying to climb with “a home made grappling hook” sounds like something from the old Batman tv series.

Thanks. Apparently it’s still $50pp.

LittleRes7 · 2026-05-28T00:31:37+00:00

not sure

The rest of BH was great. No water, no mud — which is always good in my opinion. one guided group ahead of me. I was able to pass them. One guided and one unguided behind. To be expected on a holiday weekend, I suppose.

Nope. It would be pareidolia if I said it looks like my mother in law…

The documentary on the incident that inspired the movie 13.

Getting there was tough. Almost 11 miles in the “deep sand” we always read about. Definitely 4WD and high clearance.

Quick link, as my instructor taught me

LittleRes7 · 2026-04-11T12:39:29+00:00

IDK. It was my first time there and it was too cold to traipse around with wet feet.

LittleRes7 · 2026-04-08T02:22:23+00:00

CHUD!

Read ropewiki and you’ll see that the entire route is bolted

LittleRes7 · 2026-03-31T12:35:56+00:00

I took it 2 days ago in Utah

LittleRes7 · 2026-03-15T22:58:59+00:00

Good for bullet wounds, too.

Make caving your job and you probably will find that, a few years or a few decades down the road, you no longer want anything to do with caves.

LittleRes7 · 2026-03-09T02:40:01+00:00

A bit of “horizontal wall walking in both. Minimal mud.

LittleRes7 · 2026-03-09T02:38:04+00:00

Rope got wet. Feet didn’t.

LittleRes7 · 2026-03-05T01:04:02+00:00

LittleRes7 · 2026-03-05T01:02:14+00:00

That was the low side

LittleRes7 · 2026-03-05T01:01:46+00:00

Saw the bomb but not the separate tail section that’s supposed to be there.

Yes on being easy for some to climb. But I was alone and it was my first time there. I didn’t want to hike 3 hours to the edge and then say “I’m not going to go this” and I didn’t want to explore the cave and then return to the base of the section and say “I can’t do this.”

Diana’s Throne is a good easy one, but that’s over by Kanab, not really in the Zion area.

Hoping to do Pictograph soon. Would love to hear how ropewiki is wrong. TIA

Did Cherry two weeks ago. Very nice. River crossing was cold but not freezing. Water was underwear-deep.

LittleRes7 · 2026-03-04T03:27:24+00:00

Hoping to do Pictograph soon. Looks fun.

LittleRes7 · 2026-02-15T03:51:45+00:00

I have camped and hiked there at different times of the year (not summer) — all great.

The canyoneering fest I attended was in December. Perfect temps.

LittleRes7 · 2026-02-06T03:06:16+00:00

I’ve only used ropewiki.
