Canyoneering – A Primer

This booklet was one of the first projects undertaken by the American Canyoneering Association; within one year of the organization’s inception. Written by Rich Carlson and Matt Smith, with input from many members of the canyoneering community. More than 3,000 copies were printed and distributed thanks to some generous donations. It is still available for download in PDF format and definitely worth reading.

Canyon Safety & Code of Ethics

A well-produced video from Australia. From the description: “Canyoning is such a great adventure, discovering new places, plunging into ancient ones. With some of our most popular canyons in the Blue Mountains becoming busier, it’s important that we all remember the basics about not only looking after ourselves, but also our canyons.”
