Signs that you may not be the best canyoneer in town

Embarrassed to not have a rope for your upcoming trip, you swing by Harbor Freight on your way home from work and pick one up.

After returning to the car with your nice new rope it dawns on you that you also have no rapids so back into Harbor Freight you go...

You ego-blog about canyoneering being an extreme or adrenaline sport.

You write fluff pieces with pictures about your extreme sport, which is really nothing more then hiking, swimming and sliding down ropes.

Well I can't very well ego blog about my video games, that won't impress the ladies. Canyoneering makes me much more manly.

You walk up to people (in Blue John Canyon) and ask how to get to Blue John Canyon.

All geared up as it starts to rain, you ask the Traffic Ranger at the east entrance to Zion Tunnel if Pine Creek ever flashs.

You blame beta pushers for bad info after taking 10 hrs to do Spry.

You attach a helmet to your pack for the whole trip.

You come to an anchor with 2 separate pieces of webbing and rapides, and decide you need to add another. (came across this recently doing SOMaidenwater - got nice haul of swag)

After finishing Mystery canyon, hiking out and riding the shuttles into Springdale with all of your harness and helmet on so everyone can see how cool you are.

You read this thread and none of it seems funny!

Or, you ask people where "that blue pool is" when inside Blue John, and when you tell them its located 300 miles away they ask "why would they name the canyon "blue john" and put it in that movie if it wasn't in there?!".......true story

"I thought this was supposed to be all down hill?!?"

You carry a survival saw canyoneering...just in case.

All of the socks you own are still white.

Whenever you see a photo of a slot canyon, and you wonder where it is, your first guess is -The Narrows.

You are self-conscious when the seat of your pants are torn.

You get pissed when the bite valve of your Camelback gets covered with sand.

When someone asks if you have ever had sex in a canyon, and your reply is: "Of course, Goblin's Lair."

Nothing wrong with having sex in Goblins Lair ;-)

When your "annual list of canyons" drops from 15 to 2...one of the 2 being the non-tech portion of "The Squeeze"

You lose your cumberbund AND your camera AND use the valuable resources of SAR all during the same trip.
