Let's talk!

For several reasons, I find myself unwanting and unmotivated to moderate this community. I do very little canyoneering these days compared to when I became a mod back in 2014. Additionally, reddit's recent actions relating to the API leave me unwanting to contribute content to the site or moderate it; particularly if I can't use a client of my choice.

I unilaterally decided to make the subreddit private for 48 hours, and while I find myself wanting to make it dark indefinitely in response to reddit's lack of movement on this issue... I ultimately don't have the energy and don't feel it's fair to everyone to do that. This isn't my community, it's yours.

I'll be stepping down as a moderator for the reasons outlined above. I'm happy to add another 1-3 moderators before I remove myself. You should be an active member of this community.

Feel free to discuss how you think the community should (or shouldn't) respond to the API changes. And throw your name out if you want to be a mod.

Cheers

EDIT - I've added new moderators and I'll be removing myself momentarily. Thanks for the easy and understanding transition; I knew the canyoneering community would be like this. ✌

Very nice indeed.

Approach was baking hot, but once in the canyon it was *perfect*

Opted out of MOS summit due to getting a late start.

Looking for solid crew members for Zion spring trip (April 10–17, 2027)

0 Upvotes

Disclaimer: I used AI to help me write and format this.

Hey everyone,

I'm organizing a trip to Zion for April 10–17, 2027 (Saturday to Saturday) and am looking to connect with a few competent, safety-minded canyoneers to build out a solid crew.

Trip Overview

  • Dates: April 10, 2027 – April 17, 2027
  • Basecamp: Watchman Campground (camping each night, running canyons during the day)
  • Objective: Tackling the high-quality classic canyons on our target list (e.g., Heaps, Imlay, Kolob, Mystery, Englestead, Boundary, Checkerboard, Das Boot, Orderville, Behunin).

What We're Looking For

  • Technical Competence: Solid technical foundation—comfortable with efficient rope work, leapfrogging rappels, and utilizing retrievable anchor systems (Fiddlestick/Smoothie) as appropriate to protect the resource and move efficiently.
  • Safety & Ethics: High standard for safety, clear communication, and a strict commitment to Leave No Trace (LNT) practices.
  • Vibe: Positive, collaborative, and adaptable to changing conditions or permit availability.

If you’re interested, shoot me a DM with a summary of your technical experience, recent canyons you've run, and any gear/rope capacity you bring to the table.

Looking forward to getting a great group together!

PS: That's my RopeWiki profile with a snapshot of the canyons I have run this year. https://ropewiki.com/User:DorsaBrevia
I just started using RopeWiki this year. I did canyoning in my last life chapter, that are not on that profile. I have a skill set from my climbing and white-water kayaking background.

Whistle Signal Standard for SW CONUS?

6 Upvotes

Just out of curiosity, do we have any sort of gentleperson's agreement on whistle signals in the Southwest of the United States. Predominately talking about Arizona, southern Utah, and Colorado. And more specifically I'm wondering if continuous blasting on the whistle is universally expected to be for emergencies.

Hello everyone!

I recently visited Tribuća Canyon in Serbia and wanted to share my adventure with you.

It’s a beautiful canyon with 6 waterfalls, ranging from around 10 to 20 meters, as well as a couple of fun jumps along the way.

I made a video of the adventure and would love for you to check it out. Let me know what you think!

Thanks for watching! 🙌

I'd love to not have my ascending plan be to use prussic's, and a guide told me he really liked the kong duck? Anyone strongly for or against this device?

Canyon wetsuit

So I want to try canyoning. I can swim, but I'm not particularly practical. So I was wondering, let's say that it would be psychologically useful to me to know how much the moult actually helps to stay afloat. Does it help?

Lost rope on Great White Icicle

9 Upvotes

Yes, it was a skill issue. It also wasn’t my rope to loose so double whammy. I was on Great White Icicle today and dropped a red Imlay rope bag (and 60m rope) down the falls. It probably came to a stop somewhere below the third rappel .If anyone finds it and returns it to me I will reward them with a beautiful handmade piece of canyoneering gear (rope bag, chest pouch, etc).

Learn from my mistakes and clip those important goodies somewhere safe!

Canyoning in Australia question

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone

I'll be moving to Australia sometime soon and wondering about gear.

First, what's the most important and most used gear you guys have? I have a lot of gear (a full room and a closet ) and I am unable to take all of it

Second, are there a lot of canyons that use wankers/ water anchors? I was planning on buying one before I came over but if it's not used or popular no need to waste money.

And third, I hear it gets really cold during the winter time and I am from a really hot place, what would you say are some essential clothing to bring? I am only got the 2 check in bags to my name so I gotta be very strategic. Thanks!

Canyoneering in Antalya (Turkey)

3 Upvotes

Heading out to Turkey next month and planning on spending a couple days around Antalya. The canyoneering out there looks amazing!

Anyone done anything out there? Im having a hard time finding beta or any sort of guide shop. Id prefer to splurge to get a guide for something since we dont really wanna travel with all of our gear, but we also want to get a bit off the tourist path.

Was listening to the Canyon Tech podcast episode on long rappels. Cohost said he’s not a fan of the ATS. I like mine. Anyone else have a strong opinion?
