I try to take as little gear as possible and do the canyon as fast as possible often linking together three to five canyons in a day. I must admit, however, that I'm not stopping to smell the roses much this way, so every once in a while I take it easy and just enjoy the scenerey.
5/day? Is that a regular thing? You doing laps, or canyons you've done numerous times?
The most I did in one day was U-Turn, Dragonfly (including the long exit out), rappelling off Corona Arch 3x, Cameltoe, and then watching X-Men Origins: Wolverine later that evenin in Moab. That was a long day!
Derailing thread: Hmm...now you got me interested how many I can do in Zion in 1 day (and not including laps of the same canyon). Hmmm... Keyhole (40mins), Pinecreek (2 1/2 hrs), Echo (depends), and Spry (3-4hrs) and end with Mystery (4 1/2hrs). That would be very tough and exhausting! But I like the challenge. Oh, and this would be me and a partner.
