On a side note, can somebody explain the physics behind why you have to add friction toward the end of a long rappel, but don't seem to on shorter rappels? How come the last 50' of a 300' rappel...

I was in there on Friday. We made it to the crossroads before two team members blew leg gaskets on their dry suits and we decided to bail, however, from what we could tell it was pretty low water. ...

Here is a video of our group going through Sandthrax in early May. We took some of our advanced students through there, they did a great job...Had a rim team on both sides for pictures and support...

Took some of our advanced students through Tracheotomy this past weekend, they did perfect in all the difficult spots, but sometimes the easier spots will get you! ...

I would suggest locking the carabiners! :2thumbs:

How's the road after last summer's flooding?

If they list Not-Tier-Drop as an established route, but then say no deadman anchors, what are the suggestions for the second rappel?

We are planning a canyon trip in a few weeks, and was curious what the latest snow reports were, and how far south we needed to go to increase our changes of success. Was in Arches last weekend, and...

Can anybody give me some real life scenarios that have happened in canyons in which you had to be creative to either overcome a nasty obstacle or get somebody through an obstacle?

I am teaching...

We bought several this September for our school and hate them all! They don't slide well at all for rappelling. Love their carabiners, but not their belay devices.

Any where to order a Sandtrap to have by this coming weekend? I have one back ordered from North Wash, but doesn't seem like it will be here in time.

Our school is heading to Zion again in September and we need some suggestions for a family friendly canyon similar to Yankee Boy. A few rappels, no wetsuits, no permits and just a good time.

So I am not so much interested in trying and doing them in under 24 hrs or as fast as I can. Just want to make the trek in a weekend. But I also wanted to get a feel for how often this is done? Has...

Every time I do Alcatraz I get the end and think, if I only had a rope to get back up it would really make this trip a lot faster. So finally I experimented with the concept. Once we arrived at the...

Anyone have any experience with tackling Heaps, Imlay and Kolob is the same outing? I saw a group did it in 2009, but can't find any other trip reports regarding it. Any suggestion on the sequence...

Today at school we tested the remaining piece of webbing to see how much it could hold. As you can see it held only 2000 lbs of force being pulled, I can imagine even less with rubbing against the...

Our group was directly behind Bruce when he fell. We were just waiting for our turn to rappel then heard the fall and help. 65233. This is webbing from the deadman, it snapped right over the edge...

Does anybody know the status of the gentleman who fell on Saturday in Constrychnine?

Anybody have any experience using the Metolious static rope?

Was curious what people thought. Looking at the 9mm version.

Any other places for Beta besides climb-utah?

I am taking a group out in a few weeks to the Hanksville area. I am looking for some new canyons that are wet, but don't need wet suits. I have done the usual Cable, Quandary, Zero G, Knotted...

When it came to safety issues I would usually say something. For instance this weekend we were in Alcatraz and a group was passing us which was fine. We were at the second rappel and they were going...

Was down it yesterday and it was bone dry.
