Well, we made it happen! Last week I descended my first canyons in upstate New York. I

Does anyone have ideas/experience for building an anchor in a Shale/Slate canyon with no trees and no rocks, boulders, or even pebbles?

While scouting some canyons in upstate New York, I got a...

Does anyone have canyon contacts in Indonesia? Specifically Bali or Java?? I've been canyoneering my way across SE Asia and am hoping to run some routes in Indonesia next month. Any information or...

Awesome stuff Tom. It looks like me and the crew will have to get our lap dance on ;) I've never tried that method but it's something I'll experiment with. There are a lot of canyons out here with...

I was using an ATS which has the option to add more friction on the fly. I figured I'd do that closer to the bottom anticipating the rappel getting "faster." Unfortunately, you could only see so...

Hey Slot Machine,

I figured someone would ask about the three ropes. That was the 510' rappel. The white rope was the rappel line, the yellow was the pull and the red was just the line that Kitt...

Sacred Falls is one of the best know waterfalls in the Hawaiian Islands. The bottom waterfall used to be a popular hiking destination before a landslide killed 8 and injured over 50 others back in...

Hi everyone, I'll be leaving for a 6 month trip across Thailand in January and was hoping to make some climbing contacts before I get there. Does anyone have any contacts in that part of the world ...

I'll be leaving for a 6 month trip across Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam in January and was hoping to find some canyons along the way. I've been canyoneering around the Hawaiian Islands the...

Ha! The only reason I'm not using the Totem is because it's sitting at the bottom of a pool in Epic Canyon - I'll be purchasing another shortly :cool2:

I highly recommend it. Feel free to reach out if you do. As for the storm, all that means is there's going to be more water in our canyons! Once they stop flooding of course :haha:

I could have explained that better - upon taking up the rope several times to set the length, I put the block on the wrong side of the quicklink without realizing it. I rappelled the proper side in...

Last weekend we opened up a new rout on Maui and it’s looking like it will be among the premier routes over there. Dave Red, Tim Whalen and myself took on the canyon.
It actually started off...

I'd say you're spot on there buddy. Even so, having my canyon roots in the southwest, I will NEVER be able to poop in a canyon. I've seen enough shitty water in my early canyon days. It would be...

I teach pretty inexpensive classes on bolting Maui canyons. If you can't tell, I'm a pretty serious and experienced bolter. If I like you, I'll even let you in on the benefits of manly/awkward facial...

Good stuff Dustin - So when are we starting our Mexi-canyon guiding business???

Thanks for the TR and mention Rene. As I've said before, by far the most gorgeous canyon I've ever been in - definitely a trip I won't forget. Thanks for a killer time! I'll hit ya up as soon as I'm...

Totally awesome! Quite a different look than the Utah canyons I'm used to.

Here we have Atlas, Hamlet, The Thinker & Michelangelo's David. A mud masterpiece if I do say so myself

Considering the start, I’d say it’s definitely a good ending.

As for what the SAR Personnel said: it wasn’t necessarily what they said but rather, how. They were calm and almost cheerful while...

Thanks again for all the shout outs, everyone. I hope it helped give some insight into these types of situations. For me, it was a sobering experience. Both on the reality of how long a canyon rescue...
