Whenever we have been with less experienced canyoneers or "first timers" we will send them down on a single line and anchor off the other end with a fig 8 and lock it off. That way we can unlock and lower them down in such an event as described previously. I personally have not ever had to use the system but it would have saved this guy's poor rope!

So you did not mean "guide". You meant a guy taking his friends through the canyon that was over his head.
Sorry to jump on this picayune point. Those of us who are actually guides take the craft seriously, and would like all y'alls to know that some guy who has been rappelling once and takes his buds through a canyon is not a "guide".

The group was from Australia and I am 90% certain that they were with a Guide of some sort. I talked with the kid for a few minutes or so and even ended up emailing him some photos of his unfortunate prediciment. Unfortunately I cannot recall any names but I will try to email him and see what information I can gather.
