40 years old white male, lived all my life in the South.
Former Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Webelos, Airborne Infantryman.
Had a resurgence in interest in backpacking the last few years, got into rock climbing(toproping), then solo toproping due to scheduling and lack of partners. I do almost weekly overnight hikes locally, and after falling in love with Zion National Park, spend my vacation time there. Found this place looking for canyoneering forums, so now I can pepper you people with moronic questions, and hopefully be able to make some helpful suggestions to others now and then.

I also like holding hands, candlelit walks on the beach, back rubs, and having my earlobes nibbled:roll:

That's disappointing. This looked like a forum that covered all the bases...

Thank you for the welcome. I'm enjoying reading up on all these canyons that have captured my interest-good thing I have several months before my next trip!

Well, the FAQ for new people does say not to expect the red carpet treatment.
Thanks:mrgreen:

Thanks, Felicia! I love that y'all have these trip report links under your info.
"Zion Siren" got me looking at yours. Great pics, and I hope your ankle keeps doing well. I was out of action ~4 months after tearing one up the 1st week of March.
