The FiddleStick – An Advanced Anchor Tool for Canyoneering
The FiddleStick is an advanced canyoneering anchor tool.
As an ADVANCED anchor tool, it requires skill, practice and understanding to use safely. Even when used properly, it has the possibility of failing, resulting in severe injury or death, or being stranded in a canyon with your ropes hopelessly stuck.
While it is possible to use the FiddleStick on traderoute canyons, to not contribute to deeper rope grooves or make some pulls easier, it really shines on first descents and in rarely-travelled backcountry canyons where it is of substantial benefit to not leave junk behind.
The above description makes FiddleSticking seem pretty simple. Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not.
I mean no offence and nobody's perfect, but why would anyone who has zero experience (or perhaps one guided canyon by then) and whom is with a nine year old consider themselves to be an advanced canyoneer?Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

Ok... Again I don't want to come off rude or unappreciative of advice, but I haven't claimed anything but to have a crude sense of humor. It was a piece of gear and I bought it. To be honest I don't find the concept complicated at all. It's dangerous sure. I don't have to use it, kinda like my pistol, I don't want to use it but it's there if I need. skills are earned through practice. Which is why I am on here with all the experts, asking strangers to join us. I know I don't know shit, I plan to keep it basic as possible, only implementing enough complicity as each situation requires. Someday my skills will be advanced and I will go off the beaten path fiddlestick and all.

Just so you know... I think you're a real candyass giving into peer pressure like that, next you will be smoking pot and doing graffiti. And you could probably kick Slot Machines butt, he just likes to pretend he has a huge ePenis when he's playing on the interwebs down in his mom's basement.

When you log into Bogley and see there is a thread regarding the best canyons to do in Moab in June and it's five pages long... that can only mean one thing.

Fins & Things is now up: http://climb-utah.com/Moab/finsandthings.htm
And my route description includes all the cool stuff the book missed. I really wouldn't have thought much of the route if it didn't pass next to three really good panels of rock art that the book missed and/or never mentions. If it was not for the rock art I'd consider the route just filler material.
The funny thing is I'd searched for the Many Hands pictograph panel a couple times before and never been able to locate it, but the Fins & Things route passes right by it if you know where to look.
If anyone has done SGR, Sunseed or Moon Flower from the book hit me up side band.
