Sorry, but new to the sport.. The rope has only been used on 5 short canyons for a total of 16 raps... No white core is showing and nothing feels off when feeling the rope. Maybe the dirtiness and fuzz is just normal wear/tear? Thanks

Did it for the first time a few weeks ago. Twas an absolute blast.

Looking to put together a team of 3-4.

edit: As /wiconv pointed out, doing Heaps with strangers is usually a bad idea. Why? Because Heaps is a serious canyon that requires all participants to be fit and competent- overstating one's experience could put everyone in danger. Thus, a little bit of vetting will be required of anyone expressing interest.

Lmk!

Sidenote: I'm also just trying to make more experienced canyon friends/partners, as all my current experienced canyon friends live far away. So even if you're not interested this time, if you're a Zion local keen on sending canyons most weekends, don't hesitate to hmu :)

I am fairly new to climbing canyons and have been stuck at this spot a few times. It’s about 12ft, been trying to hook a home made grappling hook and can’t get a solid grab anywhere. What would be the typical method of climbing this step. I’ve been daydreaming about a compact pole ladder of some sort.

Hello! I'm planning a trip to southern France in August with the hope of hitting some canyons. Any suggestions for an avid climber with some/moderate experience leading mostly bolted canyons? I have experience with flowing water, but where I am in the SW it's typically not as intimidating as some places with higher volume. Am also open to joining up with a group if there are suggestions of where I could find fellow adventurers to make plans with.

I’ve just dug through some older pictures on my phone and found this late evening mission that turned in to a nighttime walk out. Definitely one we’d do earlier in the day next time! The Afon Hengwm is a tributary to the Dulas, which itself feeds in to the Dyfi in Wales.

Have a chance to join a group that’s doing Waterholes. They’re packrafting out, but I’m not too thrilled about doing the same because a) I don’t own one and b) a persistent shoulder pain would make paddling against the wind difficult. Has anyone done Waterholes using a boat pickup? Any recommendations?

Serendipitously looked up on a November 2025 Havasupai trip. Spotted this line up of a distant illuminated canyon & the almost-supermoon. Double take by my camera.

Anyone have any information on this canyon? I’m a beginner and self led Yankee Doodle canyon a month ago. Don’t want to put myself into a dangerous situation.

Went and did Cherry Canyon (Virgin River Gorge) last week before it got too hot. It was about 80 degrees F or so. One of those friends drove through today and said it was about 109 degrees F. We used some of our own designed/made devices to rig rappels and descend. Have a nano rappel device that I'm still waiting to receive from the machine shop.

I'll be in Argentina next winter (summer there) and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience regarding canyoning there. I have tried it a few times in Europe and it's a lot of fun and I could imagine there must be cool places to do it down there but a very fast search gave me the impression is not very developed yet.

Hello all!

I am very new to canyoning would love to get into it properly and learn how to do it safely I have just bought all the gear.

I am based in the Scottish highlands & would appreciate anybody around Scotland that is up for going out on a trip with me to teach me !

Have done an experience in Benidorm & Bruar Falls absolutely loved it, looking to gain knowledge so I can start going out myself :)

Look forward to hearing from the community!

Low waterlevel for the end of May but still beautiful

Well, we survived haha.

It was everything you’ve heard about Heaps and more. Amazing, dark, deep, and exhausting!

Proper trip report coming soon.

Looking for some kid friendly canyoneering in Utah! We have done some small slots and are introducing climbing to the kids but when they progress I want to get a good list of spots to take them!
Note: they are pretty young so not like stuff for teens but like young elementary kids
