This thread discusses the Content article: Rappelling at Little Blue John with canine troubles

Where is Blue John Canyon???
How/where can you learn to canyoneering?
Does OutnBack or other some other place have groups or expeditions you can sign up for to go?

Outnback only does things with their employees. There is speculation of a possible gear test with customers coming up. Right now that is only a slight possibility and not something on which you should count.

If you want to get into the canyoneering you can talk to people that do it often. Most of them will be ok with taking new people. I haven't found any places that really offer groups to do this with the exception of some guide services in Zion NP and Escalante. I really haven't had to look to hard to find people though. Working at Outnback I am usually lucky enough to be surrounded by people who don't need coaxing to go play.

This was a great article and video. I loved it! I never thought repelling was something I would want to do until now. Thanks!

Going with someone is the best way to learn canyoneering, but you can also pay to be guided down a canyon. Desert Highlights is one such guiding service.
www.bogley.com is a great outdoors forum, where you can meet people to go canyoneering with. Good place to get hooked up on noob trips etc.
