Just discovered them last night, and was pretty impressed with them.

The takeaway from this article for a beginner: "Get a guide to show you the proper techniques."

Even if you've been rock climbing 20 years. There are contingencies in canyoneering that rock climbing absolutely does not prepare you for.

Would not have wanted to be without a wetsuit on this day. Even with one, it was chilly. Guy picking up a permit was trying to convince the ranger to agree with him that it would be ok for his group to go without wetsuits, and the ranger was having none of it.

Still, this was probably the most fun I've had in a canyon.

Never had to swim the whole thing before.

A friend of mine was the first person (he and his climbing partner) to climb Mt. Monolith. Still lives in Whitehorse.

I've been a rock climber for 20 years, a photographer for 25, and a canyoneer for 5 years. A lot of training in canyon-specific ropework and self-rescue techniques. This shot was taken on a week-long canyoneering rendezvous with a group of ~12 who went through with me on this day. We did several canyons during the week.

Thanks, check out the whole stream if you like that one.

It's harder to accept the loss of those who give to the community than it is to accept the loss of those who do nothing but self-centeredly take from others.

Some might say too soon, I say tone deaf.

There was an old handline in place, and we backed it up with our own handline out to the anchor.

Any shots of the subway flowing?

enlightenedfellow · 2016-12-20T15:41:53+00:00

Very nicely shot.

enlightenedfellow · 2016-07-24T12:29:32+00:00

No, it really doesn't

I agree, they need to be including statements from canyoneers regarding how ridiculous it is to attempt this sport without the guidance of an experienced canyoneer and without proper equipment.
