Washable, reusable, waterproof, lightweight and compact. Can be rolled or folded for easy storage. Not affected by extreme temperatures.

The Canyon DS Rope


In Canyoneering you want your rope to be a mix between static and dynamic. If your rope stretches too much it becomes a pain, because your always taking up slack and if it doesn't stretch enough, you can get hurt if you take a fall. The 9.2mm Canyon DS [Dual sheath] rope solves all those problems. The innovative hybrid sheath design utilizes alternating strands of polyester and Technora for increased cut resistance. This unique mix gives this skinny rope a whopping 6000 lbf. tensile strength.
Elongation: 5.6% @ 300 lbf.
Diameter: 9.2mm
Tensile Strength: 6000 lbf.

The Totem!

The Totem is the "Swiss Army Knife" of canyoneering gear. This rappelling and rigging device, designed by Rich Carlson, functions like a figure eight, sticht plate and gigi all in one. Will do everything each of these devices will do, plus a few things unique to the Totem. Use it to rappel on single or double strands of rope from 7.5mm to 10.5mm. Easy to add friction on the fly. Simple to lock off.

Other uses include: rigging releasable eight, joker and stone eight; anchor rigging plate; as a "trolley" for guided rappels, guided hauls and lowers; and much much more!



Petzl Canyon Harness


Canyoning harness with padded waist belt and protective seat. Whitewater cascades, rappelling, swimming, jumping... this is the domain of the CANYON harness. Rugged, non-absorbent materials ensure lightweight longevity for all your aquatic adventures. Removable and replaceable seat protection protects the wet suit from abrasion. Wide foam waist belt provides support and comfort. Dyneema-reinforced attachment point is positioned high for comfort during rappels. DoubleBack buckles on the waist belt and leg loops. Non-absorbent, hard wearing fabrics. Reinforced equipment loops.

The Canyoneer


Canyoneering combines the risks of river AND rock travel. The Five Ten Canyoneer 2 is the result of a half decade of R&D with the world’s top canyoneers. The Canyoneer was the shoe of choice for professional canyoneering guides worldwide and the Canyoneer 2 is even better. We gave the Canyoneer 2 significantly better traction, a sleeker and more adjustable closure system, and a new upper that offers super lightweight support with ergonomic flex and reinforced durability.

    Details:
  • Synthetic leather, with nylon mesh and neoprene
  • Buckle and strap Closure System
  • Co-Molded Stealth® C4/S1 soles
