I got this message on Instagram so I thought I should have Brian on the show. "I think a cool episode would be titled "what NOT to do" and delve into a lot of the basics and mistakes that I've seen people make over my years, including when I started out when I lived in flag and needed helicopter rescuing from sycamore Canyon.

V7 Academy with Andrew Humphreys.

THIS IS PART TWO OF TINA'S FALL. THE INTERVIEW WITH THE INSTAGRAM GUY.  If you have not yet listened to that episode, please do so.  Tina lives an adventurous life, and loves adrenaline filled sports like snowboarding and mountain biking. She met a guy on Instagram that also loves those same sports. He invited her and a friend to go to Moab Ut to do some Canyoneering. She jumped on the opportunity as canyoneering was something that she had wanted to try. Thew met up in Moab the night before and talked about the canyon the next day. After waiting for the rain to stop they descended Rock of Ages canyon. On the last rappel Tina decided to go first. They guy set the anchor using one 10 ft back from the one he normally had used. While Tina was rappelling on a double stand setup, she came to the end of one rope. Not knowing that was not ok, she continued to rappel, pulling the rope down as she fell 20-25 feet. She broke both ankles and her pelvis.  She suggests if anyone wants to get into this sport that they get training before they go out with a stranger. Make sure you know who is leading you and that they have the skills to get everyone through safely.  To become a member of my Patreon community: The Canyons Are Calling is creating Podcast | Patreon Background music by Chris Zollinger Steel Drum | United States | Z The Handpan Man Intro music by Tig Booth nathaniel.booth@gmail.com My website thecanyonsarecalling.com has more information about each person as well as links to other canyon resources.

Tina fell 20 feet while in a Canyon with a person she met on Instagram.

This podcast will cover all things related to canyoneering, canyoning and gorging. We will interview people in the canyoneering community that have some knowledge to contribute. Either by providing gear, beta, first descents, or were maybe involved in an accident or mishap where we will discuss what we can all learn. Our hope with this podcast is to provide the listener with epic, entraining and educational stories that will help us all be more safe and adventurous canyoneers. The Canyons are Calling... LETS GO!!

From river trudging to canyoning we chat about canyons in Taiwan and New Zealand's Gloomy Gorge. The First descent of Qia Can canyon was 13 days of what she describes are canyoning in a church. The steep white limestone walls and crystal-clear water sounds incredible.

Glacier Black Gear with Shawn and Steven

Jude Thomas and Kelleigh Miller were looking forward to a long day when they chose to the Maze (also known as Ice Cube) canyon in Red Rocks conservation area near Las Vegas NV. Their day turned out way longer than they had anticipated when they encountered some navigational issues on the approach. They decided to drop into the canyon anyway because they were hopeful, they if they needed to, they could climb out at the sneak route. That was not possible, and they had to continue down canyon finishing the coldest, darkest section after the sun went down. We talk about what went wrong and what they did right, as well as what they might do different next time.  to read Jude's write up of the story.

Longer than anticipated in Maze Canyon with Jude and Kelleigh.

On a trip through Heaps canyon in Zion National Park, Oct 2021 Raquel Diaz, Matt Weyen and their friend Michelle Niles were excited to see this amazing canyon. Day one of the trip was beautiful and they were enjoying their trip. The next day Raquel broke her ankle while downclimbing in one spot. They continued down canyon slowly with Raquel doing as much as she could with assistance from her team. They made it to the last rappel us as it was getting dark. Matt deployed the rope out of the dry bag he has stored it for the beginning of the canyon. He got on rope to rappel and just before he went into the free hang part, he noticed a huge knot in the rope. He was able to get back to the top of the rappel where he and Raquel worked in the knot for almost an hour when Michelle came to join them and continued to help for anther 30-45 minutes. They finally got the knot undone and were able to finish the canyon that night.  You can find Matt (3) Matt Weyen | Facebook and Raquel Raquel Diaz | Facebook To become a member of my Patreon community: The Canyons Are Calling is creating Podcast | Patreon Background music by Chris Zollinger Steel Drum | United States | Z The Handpan Man Intro music by Tig Booth nathaniel.booth@gmail.com My website thecanyonsarecalling.com has more information about each person as well as links to other canyon resources.

Exploring canyons in the Pacific North West

Dan and his family were Canyoneering in Englestead canyon near Zion NP when his son saw Stephen Baker fall on the first rappel. It was a 300 foot rap that he lost control on and fell the last 80 or so feet. As a former Trauma surgeon Dan tried to help but was limited due to the remote location. Shortly after that incident, Dan him self needed a helicopter rescue after he fell in Dotracki canyon near Hilldale UT. He tell what he learned from both of those accidents. Dan grew up in Texas and went to BYU in Utah and fell in love with the mountains. He is now a 50 something weight loss surgeon who works in Salt Lake City. He has 5 kids, and has been married for 30 years. He ran for governor in 2019 as a libertarian and got 3.5 % of the vote (55,000) which he was thrilled with. He enjoy skiing(all types), rafting and mountain biking when not canyoneering  anything which gets me out of the inside.

Helicopter Evacuation in Dothracki Canyon with Dan Cotam

Ira has been actively canyoning and canyoneering for over 15 years. He has participated in or led numerous first descents in the US in the San Gabriel's, the early days of Death Valley, the Pacific Northwest and Colorado as well as abroad. Through connections with the international canyoning rendezvous known as the RIC, he helped bring that event to Ouray in 2015. He recently authored a guide book titled Canyoning in the Colorado San Juan Mountains, which added 40 canyons to the previous Ouray guidebook.
