Things that make a great Canyoneer.....
10 things that make a great Canyoneer
1. Boasting.
2. Exaggerating wildly.
3. Imaginatively reinventing your own minor technical screw ups and portraying them as balls-out epic self-rescues.
4. Bashing "guidebook authors", "guides" and "websites".
5. Boring everyone half to death with how "hard" and "dangerous" the 3B canyon you were led down last weekend was.
6. Refusing to take any "gumbies" canyoneering with you unless they kiss your ass, buy the beer, haul the rope, do all the cooking and carry you when you get tired.
7. Proving how good a canyoneer you are by shouting "advice" at every minor drop and swim.
8. Seeing no irony at all in the fact that you talk about technique and gear constantly but almost never talk about actual canyoneering.
9. Making slings out of weather beaten webbing and then criticizing everyone else for being "unsafe".
10. Getting on your high horse and criticizing everyone incessantly, but being incredibly sensistive about anyone making jokes about you or about canyoneering.
:five: Good stuff, eh fellow tards? :haha:
