Thanks RIU - I've signed up for a hiking club as well. What I'm running up against are access issues. Most of the established trails that are more technical than an Sunday afternoon walk require...

I have temporarily relocated to Taiwan (my canyoneering gear is currently in a plane over the Pacific) and have been to Taroko. How did you find a canyon to explore? Everytime I ask the locals, I...

Sorry for being late - I just saw it. We are doing Subway tomorrow (6/21). We have a full permit of 12 people. We have a mix of experienced and new canyoneers with probably 6 of them between 14-18...

We had a great week in Robbers Roost. Tuesday, we drove down from Utah County and did the Goblins Lair/Chamber of the Basilisk in Goblin Valley. The Cavern is great and just the right length after...

I did E3 last spring (6"1", 195#). I was able to make it through all of the tight spots except one spot where my claustrophobia got the best of me. Two other members of our group were larger than...

I took this pack through Egypt III on our annual Mancation three weeks ago. I was impressed with the durability of the material and the fit. I know that Scott and the Team at Teton Sports (based in...

Thanks for your replies - I shared your concerns about the heat/length as well and we had set up for a retreat up the West Fork after eating lunch at the Horseshoe ledge if we were late or not in top...

Just a PSA -

We will be taking a group of scouts (16-17 year olds) through Blue John's East Fork and dropping into Horseshoe canyon on Wednesday 6/9/10. We are planning on camping a Granary...

I love my ICG pack and took it through Buckskin last year. We did it as a through hike. My Mystery was awesome the two times we were above waist deep in water but a bit overkill. Definately not...

You can't reserve Kolob online - It's a walk-up permit only.

We did Birch 2 weeks ago. There are a couple of small pools (~3-5') at the bottom of rappels, otherwise it's dry, there's really nowhere to hold water. All of the anchors were solid and webbing was...

We did Buckskin last week-end. There's was lots of water but nothing long, you could easily pack your dogs across any of the pools. I think the longest was around 25' with one exception, the long...

I don't mean to change direction (but I will slightly); is there an advantage to using the Munter/Mule over a figure eight block as a contingency anchor?

Thanks...

We followed a set of summer rangers throught the subway 3 years ago. They didn't carry a rope and rappelled each time on green khaki piece of webbing. I didn't notice if they used figure 8's or...

We did do the shuttle but didn't make it all the way to the rim. We eventually decided it was just too rough for the outfits (a Jeep and a Tundra) and parked about a mile and a half past the old...

Anchors were all good - It seemed like they all required quite a bit of webbing which looked new. We missed the first section so we didn't see the deadman. We did see your pictures and wanted to...

Sorry, hit submit too fast, here's the pics.

Alright, here's the write up:

We left Utah County between 6 and 6:30 and drove to Motel 6 only to find a large group of cowboys from Wyoming camped there. No room for us, so we went to the West...

Ironically, we ended up doing Water Canyon on Friday and Blue John's on Saturday. There was no water in either. The ranger at Hans Flat said they got a trace of snow on Thursday. We got some great...

Thanks for the responses - they are exactly what i was looking for. I did the Subway 2 years ago in April with my daughter. We found out in the canyon that her rented dry suit didn't fit. We made...

Thanks for the reply. While I have only been canyoneering for 3 years I do have some experience and am generally prepared for water (thank you Northwash Outfitters). My concern is that this is my...

Has anyone been in Baptist draw recently? I want to take some friends and my daughter on the 27th but don't want a swim or even deep wade.

Also, we will have a large group in Blue john's on Sat...
