The Gear You’ll Need for Canyoneering On Your Own

A harness is a must-have for canyoneering. It’s used to secure yourself to a rope while rappelling, and it helps to distribute your weight evenly. Make sure you get a harness that fits you correctly and is comfortable to wear. It should also be made of durable material that will last through multiple trips.

A helmet is also important for canyoneering. It will protect your head from falling rocks or debris, and it can also provide some additional protection if you bang your head onto a rock facing or other hard part of the terrain. Look for a helmet that fits snugly and is adjustable so you can get a secure fit.

A rappelling device is a crucial piece of gear for canyoneering. It helps you control your descent when you’re rappelling, and it allows you to adjust the speed of your descent. Make sure you get one that is specifically designed for canyoneering and is made of durable material.

Finally, comfortable and breathable clothing is essential for canyoneering. It will keep you warm and dry in cold water, and it will also protect you from cuts and scrapes. Look for clothing that fits you properly and is made of a durable material that will be able to withstand the rugged terrain.
