Canyoneering Keyhole Canyon

08/06/16

Canyoneering is an amazing and beautiful experience, but it is dangerous if not done properly. This article does not emphasize these dangers enough. People do die in these canyons. In order to descend a canyon safely, you need to make deliberate, informed decisions about weather, anchor placement, and equipment. Once a descent is started, very rarely is it possible to backtrack and escape the canyon. For these reasons, please *do not* attempt Keyhole canyon as your first canyon. Gain some experience with guides or other canyoneers before attempting Keyhole on your own. This will result in a better experience for you, and for the other canyoneers you may encounter.
