-I keep bringing the canyoneering idea up to my wife all the time. Yesterday when I brought it up she reminded me that our little girl would be making any trip we go on and that she would be strapped to my back. Canyoneering doesn't seem to "kid strapped to my back" friendly.
-I really don't have the $ for classes and all kinds of gear to do it on my own.
Bottom line...the timing isn't good at all for me to get into the sport like I would want to. Someday it will happen. For now I'd like to tag along, as long as others are willing to bring me along. I'm cool with picking up head gear and a harness on the chance someone has pity on me so that I don't have to borrow all the time, plus I'd be more comfy in a pink or purple harness adorned with rhinestones anyway.
I'll be looking forward to any invitations :haha:
