Adding a friction hitch like a prussick while rappelling will add more safety while not compromising much time, same with having both hands on the lower brake side of the rappel is advised. Not a complaint just an observation as this is public. Have fun, stay safe and thanks for sharing! :)
You're welcome. They are just cheap volleyball pads I picked up at a Sports store. I use the small knee pad for my elbows. They work well enough and once they're shredded you can replace them easily.
Great video -- thanks for sharing your adventure! I have some climbing experience but not enough to have felt comfortable setting up the rappel for my wife and son. We hiked down the "exit ramp" and explored around from there. Question for you -- how did you evaluate the webbing on your big rappel? Generally speaking, wouldn't it be safer to set up your own since you had to go retrieve your rope anyways? Evaluating other people's tie-ins is what makes me most nervous now... so I'm curious as to your thought process. Thanks again :)
Thanks for watching! If we don't place the webbing ourselves we inspect the webbing that is already there. If the webbing is in good condition (not frayed or sun rotted) and tied correctly (well dressed water knot with plenty of tag) then we feel comfortable using it. Sometimes just for my own peace of mind I'll add another piece of webbing for redundancy.
What diameter rope do you use for canyoneering to run through your sqwurel ? just curious because I just bought the new sqwurel 3..That was another great video I'm gonna watch every one I can.
How big was the first rappel? What would it be if you did the other two. I love the chute. Which you bypassed going your way but i wanna try this canyon agaim
in one of the video cant recall which one tal vez even this one... you said that no jumping in canyons to your wife... reprimanding her for doing parkour =DD may I ask why is it so strict is it because you may twist your ankle or perhaps gear on the waist can injure you while you are bouncing off the ground... is there practical explanation or it is just a superstition? Why no parkour there =D
Jumping while descending canyons ,statistically, leads to the most injuries. Twisting an ankle or breaking a leg while you are in the middle of a canyon will most certainly ruin your day.
Is there any hesitations of someone stealing your rope? I’ve seen you leave them behind in a handful of canyons and was curious if it’s ever a problem 😬
I usually leave a small note on the rope with the date saying we'll be back for it..but yes, it's always in the back of my mind that someone might steal the rope.

Oh disregard that...on your most recent post in Jolly you guys used prussick and/or belays, great! Nice to see :)
Thanks for the video! Which knee and elbow pads are you using?

@@precipiceofgrind Thank you very much for the explanation! I'm enjoying watching the rest of your canyoneering videos -- thank you for sharing :)

First rappel was 110ft. There is another rappel that is 70ft that many use to start the canyon.
