Canyoneering etiquette (at least Maui)

[Renatomic808]

So I decided to put some random canyoneering etiquette that we have here. We all know there's safety rules. But let's step into the rules that would rather make someone laugh, or gross you out. There will be more added as I think of them. But this will be a nice starter.


If you slip and fall, and don't get hurt. LAUGH

When a person slips and falls, and laughs.. you know they're not hurt. So laugh with them.

Pooping in tropical canyons is acceptable. Just make sure its not in the water course, and try to hide it in some shrubs. Our air temperature is in the 70's or 80's in the canyons. Your poop will biodegrade in NO TIME.

If you see a boar, freeze and shat yourself. After the boar runs away (its usually more afraid of us), we want something to laugh at.

Whatever happens in these canyons, stays in the canyons

Bromance is acceptable

When a woman is on rappel above you, stare at her butt

When a man is on rappel above you, laugh at his junk

Throwing rotten guava at people is acceptable

While someone is swimming across a very rancid pool, make them laugh. It lets water in their mouths.

When IN canyon, always use the word "brah" after every sentence.

Assume the any canyon that hasn't been run, doesn't have anything special. That's why it hasn't been done.



This is a few for now. :mrgreen: Feel free to add your own

My only contribution is that if I can catch you falling on film, I will publish it! My poor buddy Lee is famous in our group.

DC Love those falls! I need to see if Mojave put the video on youtube, where my g/f VERY gingerly bumps into me, and makes me fall.

It's on my FB page, not on u-tube. I'll edit it down to the fall in question and post it here

Hahahahaha Everytime I see this, I wonder "How the hell?"

It doesn't look like she even bumps into you. Is it possible the tiny ripples in the water she made from sliding was enough to knock you over? :haha:
