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.
