Above is my first repel, when canyoneering or ‘canyoning’ Dec 13th, 2008 with my cousins in San Gabriel Mountains.
My second repel was easier (above).
Canyoning is fun. One of the things that’s interesting about descending canyons is that you can often believe your feet are the first to transverse some ground. I don’t think the technology was available to the ancients. Unless someone was already somewhere, they wouldn’t get there unless they could. Or really needed something.
The next 3 repels were into water or through water. My guides weren’t expecting the wet conditions. So, on the final repel, they lowered me: a guy up top controlled the rope. I just had to navigate the waterfall.
