Canyoneering Gear Loadouts

Module 20

What does a gear load-out look like with all of your gear for your first, technical slot canyon?

On this page, I will cover just that so you can get an idea of what a canyon trip *could* look like.

As always, as it is in canyoneering – “it depends”.  It depends on what canyons you are descending, who you are bringing (beginners vs. experienced vs. young vs. older), and when you are going (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall).
