Things that make a great Canyoneer.....
10 things that make a great Canyoneer
1. Boasting.
2. Exaggerating wildly.
3. Imaginatively reinventing your own minor technical screw ups and portraying them as balls-out epic self-rescues.
4. Bashing "guidebook authors", "guides" and "websites".
5. Boring everyone half to death with how "hard" and "dangerous" the 3B canyon you were led down last weekend was.
6. Refusing to take any "gumbies" canyoneering with you unless they kiss your ass, buy the beer, haul the rope, do all the cooking and carry you when you get tired.
7. Proving how good a canyoneer you are by shouting "advice" at every minor drop and swim.
8. Seeing no irony at all in the fact that you talk about technique and gear constantly but almost never talk about actual canyoneering.
9. Making slings out of weather beaten webbing and then criticizing everyone else for being "unsafe".
10. Getting on your high horse and criticizing everyone incessantly, but being incredibly sensistive about anyone making jokes about you or about canyoneering.
Good stuff, eh fellow tards?

Good list either way. I will try to get all 10 checked off this year!The man thong is wrong.

uh oh, I'm having relapse visions of me after my first 4 canyons of my life (all 3Bs) giving out prophetic advice as to what gear this mom needed for her son to make it through Subway the correct way.
hmm...looks like I'm an official great canyoneer!

We have a lot of new canyoneers around here so I thought I'd give this a bump :-)
