Zion Canyoneering Equipment and Gear Suggestions

Desert Rat

A checklist of essential hiking, backpacking and canyoneering gear by Bo Beck

"Canyoneering" has grown immensely in popularity in the last decade; as a matter of fact the name "canyoneering" has been adopted in the US within just the last decade. Along with the new sport, techniques and equipment for descending canyons has changed dramatically, making the experience easier, safer and more enjoyable for many! Ropes have become smaller, lighter and less water absorbent, yet maintaining integrity of durability and strength.

Zion Book: Favorite Hikes in and around Zion National ParkBackpacks, Stuff Bags, Kegs

Packs of all sizes for different equipment needs are now available that not only are tough and abrasion resistant, but float and also instantly drain out water that fills a pack when swimming through pools of water ever so present in canyons. Bags designed to "stuff" ropes that can be tossed are also mesh and drain when lifted out of a pool, and also will float. Dry bags have become lighter, yet totally waterproof to protect cameras and other essential items; Waterproof Kegs not only keep cameras dry, but also are very impact resistant. There are many "canyon" specific soft goods and hard goods available today such as dry suits, descending and ascending devices, footwear and many others!

La Sportiva Exum Ridge and Exum River: The ideal shoes for canyoneering and hiking on the sandstone in Zion National Park.

When off-trail hiking, the right kind of shoe is important to keep you comfortable and safe as you hike, boulder or canyoneer. La Sportiva makes an ideal shoe that holds up strong to all three challenges. The La Sportiva Exum Ridge is a radical hybrid with suction dot rubber lugs for friction, sticky "frixon" climbing rubber outsole to grip, its super lightweight and dries fast.

"The Exum Ridge is the One. If you had only one pair of shoes, this would be it .. for running, scrambling, hiking, canyoneering, this is the ticket."
