Here are some pics from my last trip to Zion National Park about 3 weeks ago. We have another trip planned for next weekend. Everyone had a great time.

Looks like you had a blast.

Great pics. I went to Zion last year and had a blast hiking the trails there. Angels Landing was awesome! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for sharing.

Actually, this sport is called Canyoneering in the USA or Canyoning in Europe. Alot more than just rapping on rope. Problem solving, climbing, downclimbing, swimming, wading, hiking, anchor building, route fingding, etc..... one of the most diversed sports around. ZNP is a cool place, but there are other places in Utah (Robbers Roost, Swell, North Wash, Poison Springs, Lake Powell areas) that I think are cooler, more squeezing/phyisical canyons, clothes/gear get tear-up pretty easy, lots of fun.

Wasn't dissin ya, dude <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I'm familiar with canyoneering, but wasn't sure if you were doing that or technical rock climbing or some sport rapping. Sport rapping is fine for those who are into it - personally it's my least favorite part of climbing. Most climbing accidents happen on the way back down, not the way up <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Canyoneering sounds like fun. I belonged to a rock-climbing gym here and I used to do some bouldering and wall climbing. Nothing beats being outdoors though doing the real thing. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

That's cool! Always wanted to try rope work like that.
