For anyone near the Boulder, CO area, I'll be giving a presentation on a Canyoneering trip we did to Corsica (a French island in the Mediterranean Sea.) There are some really neat canyons, with...

For any members that might be near Boulder, CO (or want to travel there) and are interested in learning canyoneering a safe and fun setting. Or maybe you've done a few canyons and want to expand...

Hello all,

For anyone near the Boulder, CO area, who is interested: Just a reminder that I'll be teaching an Advanced Canyoneering / ACE Level 2 course starting Aug 6th. Click here for more...

Hello all,

I'm going to be giving the next UBERPresents on 1/13 about our Canyoning trip to Corsica in June of 2015:...

Yes, this is definitely a good idea on class C canyons. Mr Murphy likes to visit at the most inopportune times. You are under the gun much more when you are getting pounded by water. It's a good...

Maybe right now, sure, 1 in 1000. However, I would not have that attitude in general. I've been in that pothole before when it was as OldNo7 describes it. Where the water level was the same as in...

I echo the other comments. Nice job!

However, you state that Right Leprechaun is "This weekend I wrangled a few of my friends and neighbors to come with me to the North Wash (near Hanksville,...

Thanks for the offer mzamp, but I think we are all set on logistics and info now.

We are planning on hitting Punchbowl (or Sierra as a backup), Parker, Jug, Waterslides and/or Parallel Play.

Hello,

Jen and I just solidified details on a trip we are doing. We will be heading down to do some AZ canyons near the Phoenix area. We will be driving down there on Sunday 3/17 and doing...

Needle and thread (floss can be used in a pinch) can be used to stitch up a wound, repair otherwise useless gear, etc. I keep some in my med kit, which is part of my survival kit.

The buttons I...

Without much C experience, to me it looks like you made the right choice. I don't know Parker, but with that water volume, you better be pretty familiar with the canyon as it's highly likely you...

Figures. You guys are going on the one weekend I already have lined up for Ice Climbing with a bunch of friends. Afraid I'm going to miss the Winterfest, so hope everyone has a great time!

Hey all,

Thanks for the info. Went through some canyons, and here's what we found:

Poisons: Arscenic, Slideanide, and Constrychnine are pretty dry considering the other canyon conditions in...

I think I know who the camera belongs to. Am sending him the URL to this thread...

Oh, and sorry, I didn't even know there was a Bogleyfest planned. Been slammed with work and life stuff, so been off the canyoneering grid for a bit. Would have loved to coordinate efforts, but...

Hey all,

Got a group going out to North Wash area this upcoming weekend. We'll be camping at Sandthrax, and I'm thinking of doing Monkey Business, Right Lep, maybe the Blarney's and/or...

Congrats Penny and crew! Glad you guys got to safely experience the canyon!

Yeah, myself and our climbing gun did that DC as well. It's spicy. ;) Not super challenging physically, but...

What are the "rules" you are referring to? I hope they aren't requiring a guide...

Nice TR and pics Doug! Thanks for sharing.

I too have run across many spiders encounters; in caving especially. Sometimes they were inches thick, literally blanketing the walls. A few times, they would all pulsate in unison; the whole wall...

Hey all,

Took a group through the Dante area canyons last weekend (Upper Ticaboo, Purgatory aka Dave's Not Dead, Inferno, Paradiso and Limbo.)

Overall, anchors were decent, though some may...

I've done a few canyons... :haha:

Here's the most up to date list I have, however, it severely needs updating as it's only current to 12/2009. Likely around 500-ish now......

Thanks Tom and oldno7.

On one side being a short tail - Duh. I guess I should get more than a few hours of sleep per night. ;)

oldno7: Would love to hear more about the webbing version of the...

So I've run across quite a few mentions of Fiddlestix anchors lately. I know the concept, releasable knot with a bar holding it together. Rap down, pull the bar, knot comes apart and voila, no rope...

Canditions entered. Definitely a good site, just comes down to how much time is already used by putting details together, posting it on three different canyon sites (now four with Candition), etc.

Hey all,

Just got back from a canyon trip near Moab, and here's what we found:

Winter Camp Slot: Road was fine, should be passable by any carefully driven passenger car. Canyon was dry, and...
