My goal is after the course to be able to successfully go down canyons such as the Subway, Keyhole and Orderville with my son and work our way up to some of the larger canyons. I am at a loss on where to begin with when it comes to equipment needed before we go down to Zion. I figure that the best thing to do is to try and find a small piece of rope and practice knot tying and learn a lot of the fundamentals prior to the course. Is there any words of advice that could be given for someone wanting to learn the sport.
