Meetup Etiquette and Attendee Responsibilities:
Canyoneering is a group activity. All participants are expected to contribute in a meaningful way. This may include:
Carrying rope and other equipment. Offering to bring your own ropes to minimize the wear & tear on organizer ropes. Providing basic equipment such as webbing or rapid links . Providing vehicle shuttles when needed. Offer to reimburse event drivers for gas and wear & tear on their vehicles.
When doing a canyon:
Each rappeler should offer the next person down a fireman's belay. At difficult down/up climbs, offer to spot or assist the next person. Do not simply continue on to the next obstacle.
Safety comes first. No canyoneer should ever feel self conscious about asking for assistance.
