I'm

Just bumping this thread. I have arrived in Springdale and will be looking to meet others. I'll be doing Pine creek and Keyhole on the 27th and Spry on the 29th and could still use a partner or two...

My plan to be irresponsible all summer and do nothing but canyoneer, climb, and mountain bike is still on. If you have an outing planned that you wouldn't mind me joining, then please let me know...

Goofball,

I should be in your area over Memorial Day weekend and sent you a PM with more information.

Thank you for the invite. If I was able to get out there any earlier, I'd be happy to join you. Unfortunately, May 19th is the earliest I can start my trip.

The DH trip looks to be a good one to...

Thank you for the replies. Now I don't feel so alone.


I'll take your advice and bump this thread as I get closer to arriving in Utah.


I have to be in Rifle, Colorado on July 6th.

Shouldn't I at least get a few sarcastic replies? Nope, nothing. Having to reply to your own invite thread might be the definition of pathetic.

Maybe I'm just impatient. More likely, I just...

May 24th should find me in the Zion NP area looking for canyoneering, climbing, and mountain biking partners. I'll be vagabonding my way throughout Utah and Colorado all summer so let me know if...

That is unfortunate that mytopo.com does not have the newest version available. Seems to be a bit short sighted for a map company to not provide all possible options.

Sorry I can't help with...

I have used both MapSeal and a can of clear acrylic to treat existing maps. The MapSeal does add some waterproof-ness and doesn't affect the look and feel of the map. But I found it too expensive...

That is the most exciting website I have ever visited. If Spidey can pull off half what is promised then the Zion Rendezvous is going to be worth the time and...

Here is a copy of my post on the other canyoneering forum. Hopefully, the Bogley crowd will find it useful.

I attended the November Canyon Leadership Seminar and was very pleased. This three day...

Thanks for the reminder to keep it simple.

I've also noticed that with the clove hitch it is easy to adjust the rope length. I have more trouble doing that with the constrictor or with the...

Here are two photos of a modification to the the clove hitch that tightens nicely even with a stiff rope but is much easier to release than the constrictor hitch.

I just accidentally "discovered"...

Yikes! Ratagonia's picture has convinced me that the clove hitch is good in theory only.

The triple clove just might be the ticket.

It is going to be funny when I show up in Utah next...

Oldno7, Thanks. The words "dynamic block" confused me but I understand what a contingency anchor is, even if I'm not quite competent to tie one.

Hank, the triple clove hitch is fantastic and your...

I'm not competent enough to covert to a lower but am working on that.

By "dynamic block" do you mean something like a stone knot that can be easily released if the need to lower arises?

Thanks. The constrictor hitch works very well! It is easy to untie with my new stiff rope but it becomes almost unreleasable with my soft dynamic rope.

I'm looking for some advice from the experts about the safety of the clove hitch, especially when used with a stiff rope to make a 'biner-block.

In my experiments with my brand new Canyonero...
