I give up.

Have fun. Safety is optional.

I stand by my earlier comment that people are over-using guided rappels just because they seem cool.

There is nothing in Water Canyon that warrants a guided rappel. So it's done just to impress clients and to have more fun. That's sending the wrong message to those clients and to the canyoneering community at large.

Yup. Wouldn't want people to think canyoneering is FUN! :roflol:

You can choose to learn from me (30 years canyoneering, 18 years guiding and teaching) or from one of my students (just over 10 years canyoneering, less than one year guiding and teaching).

Thump Thump Thump.... went the chests. Or you could learn from me and then teach me on our second trip. If we survive you will be treated to a dutch oven meal that will surpass any calorie expenditure from the day's hike. Then we will talk about our adventures and then we will re- hash the hike again and again on the way to the next canyons we do... Oh ya, I don't charge any thing and I only have two rules. Have fun and don't die. I don't want to be on the news.

Actually, chest thumping, egos, bad blood aside, I appreciate the comments from everyone. I tend to sift and mix and match for what fits me and then I ask a really talented feller to go with me. :haha:

Tom Jones was seen in Somalia taking bags of rice from starving children. Rich saw him do it.

Tom can be a little quirky at times.... but I know of no finer or more patient teacher.... I hear he even likes children, dogs and old people...

Rich, you are a mean and vindictive man. I recognize that it is your right to live your life the way you choose. But know that your behavior continues to reflect poorly on the ACA.

Who would want to learn anything from an organization that is run by a person like you?

It is always your way…..or the highway.

ps: I thought you “give up” a few posts back.

Only 27 years of beer drinking? Sheesh... I've been drinking beer for 37 years, and I thought you were about my age (50). :haha:

You have a right to your opinion, but you are missing a lot of information.

And people wonder why I nicknamed him the Canyon Nazi.

Proof that reality really can mimic satire!
