caving and canyoning rope 3-Oct-2011 At 1:40:53 AM sbm
Message
A wet sandy fuzzy static is going to be a lot slower than a new dry static. For canyoning plain 9mm static is fine, the Tendon ones off the spool that Steve at climbinganchors sells are good. For caving I guess you could go up to 11mm, I reckon you could get away with 9/10mm if you're always using rope protectors. Depends what sort of caving as well I guess.

If you wanna be fancy get one of those bright flouro canyoning polyamide (?) ropes that float, they are fantastic. http://www.climbinganchors.com.au/products/Tendon-Grand-Canyon-10.0-60m.html

The main challenges in canyoning are 1) not being a stupid and going when large hailstorms are forecast 2) remembering to bring spare tape and a knife in case the anchors are rotting bits of string and 3) having a wetsuit warm enough that you're still thinking straight so as to not screw up the minimal navigation that is required.
