Your instincts are right, Archie. Even if I plan to finish double-strand, I usually start with single strand. And if I can't see the rope at the bottom, then I almost always start single, then...

Thanks to everyone for the tremendous response on the U.S. Canyoneering 2015 survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/canyoneering2015). We will close the survey tonight and then begin the analytical...

Only a few days left to take the Coalition of American Canyoneers and Southern Utah University U.S. Canyoneering 2015 survey. Thank you to all that have and please (please, please, please) if you...

Thanks for the feedback, Ice. The survey definitely isn't perfect and we always welcome those that are willing to get involved and help us get better.

The self-rating of skills is what it...

The U.S. Canyoneering 2015 survey is now live, sponsored by the CAC and Southern Utah University. We humbly request that EVERY CANYONEER take a few minutes to complete the survey. Results will be...

Hey Ice--
About 750, up from 477 when we started our soft launch of the membership drive. Added over 100 yesterday. Let's keep it coming, Bogleys! Thanks for your interest and for all you have...

Cool, Kiwi. Love to have you West Coasters involved. Lately we've been working hard to keep Eaton Canyon open to canyoneers.

Great, Curtis! Welcome!

Awesome, jman! Glad to have you.

You can dangle from a rope, span a bombay and slither down a chimney. But can you help build an organization that represents canyoneering in the U.S.?

The bigger the CAC becomes, the more...

Thanks for taking the time to write the report. Your candor will benefit others, I am sure.

The Coalition of American Canyoneers (CAC) February newsletter--summarizing 2013 accomplishments and looking ahead to the 2014 plans. Check out the new membership policy--if you haven't joined the...

Last week Rich Rudow and I represented the Coalition of American Canyoneers (CAC) board in a meeting with the Grand Canyon National Park superintendent to discuss Great Thumb access. This is an...

Just did this trip last week. Long, cold, and awesome! Also, helps a lot to be following someone who knows their way around. I could see myself wandering around while crossing from the RF to the...

It's been a while since I've done E2, but isn't that 40' the only rap in the canyon, or am I forgetting one? I think I recall leaving the rope at the rap and cleaning it on the hike out. Thanks for...

Great pics. Thanks for sharing. I'm no expert, but the last pictures remind me of the Great Gallery in Horseshoe Canyon, which are some of the oldest known, I think. Archaic Period? Earlier than...

OK, good counsel Tom. And thanks. I've decided to put it on my Fall schedule as a three-day.

Remoteman, Randi and others that have done Right Fork--how many days did you take to go through it? With an early start, can you get to Barrier Falls on the first day? I'm thinking of doing this...

As a Cougar fan, I'd love to see the Utes beat TCU, then the Cougs beat Utah and ... a three-way tie in the MWC?

But I think TCU will shut down the Utah offense. Those guys are faster than...

Last weekend we got into Monkey Business before the group of girls arrived. My first time in this very fun canyon. I'm guessing the keeper pothole had more sand than usual, because we both climbed...

Thanks Scott, Dan and DWayne. I appreciate the perspective. I'm looking forward to the canyons, and will definitely try to squeeze in Morocco. Turns out I'm leading a few newbie BYU girls for the...

Am heading to North Wash this weekend and thinking about Monkey Business and Foolin' Around, both new to me. I can't find much detail, except from Kelsey. But I did notice on the CanyoneeringUSA...

Yep, I can relate to past stupid days. My second canyon ever (first was on a lark, with a dozen people) my equally inexperienced son and I led my family down Pine Creek. Wetsuits? Didn't occur to...

I've never done Kolob but am planning on going through it late September. Any recommendations on how much neo we'll need? I was planning on full-length 5/3. Pretty good tolerance for cold (I grew...

A few weeks ago I asked about Rock Canyon but accidentally wrote Dark Canyon, which was quickly noted and corrected. But it did get me to thinking of Dark. I went there a few years ago with my...
