Equipment
The equipment, as in all kinds of alpine sport, is particularly important for canyoning, too. Only with the correct equipment we are able to proceed successfully in a canyon and to experience it with joy. The wrong equipment must not always cause an accident. Often the adventure is not that nice just because someone is cold. This means not only less fun for the affected person, but also the whole team will be urged to hurry and is not able to enjoy the trip.
