Canyon Rope Technique

I was supposed to go Tramping with Kay, but a last minute call from Brendon had me backpeddalling and offering to go canyoning.. In the end the weather was looking a bit iffy, so we settled on an afternoon playing around with some new canyon techniques and practising a few old ones.

Of note were the Figure 8 contingency block, Deviations, Knot passing whilst descending and ascending, converting blocks to lowering systems, raising systems and rappelling on 3 ropes that are all too short to reach the bottom… ( a new way of doing Brendons favourite trick..)
