One of the commenters pointed out a big mistake I made on the 1st Rappel. There are deep grooves forming right under the Rappel Chains and one should walk away from the rappel landing zone thus pulling the rope away from the wall while pulling it down. This responsible move will reduce rope trapping groove formation! It is especially important for long Rappels with lots of heavy rope dragging on the soft sand stone. This procedure also improves all of our safety by pulling the rope away from the rock face and reducing the chances that a rope gets stuck! Rescues are horrible and hard on canyons as well. . . I generally practice this procedure and regret not doing it here. . . Helmets are ALWAYS Advised for Canyoneering.
Cassidy Arch Canyon is a true Canyoneering Classic located in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah! With Eight Drops, 2 over 130ft, and Spectacular Scenery the Whole way! Two rappels are through natural bridges as well to further distinguish this Incredible Canyon.

Another great adventure! Quality time making great memories in a beautiful place
Thanks again my friend! Karl
Capitol Reef is def underrated. This and Stegosaurus slot were very fun. Thanks for the video!
Totally agree, I was planning to do Cassidy last spring but it was closed for owls so we did Stego! Much tougher, but very cool!
WOW such a stunning geological area! Loved the rappelling, and the great vistas of Fern's Nipple! Great trip, thanks!
Who doesn't like a big Nipple!
Looks amazing! I'm doing my canoyneering 1 and 2 certs in May in UT. Adding this to my list!
It is a really nice one to get your feet wet.
Looks like a great easy trip up and down for the people who dont repel. I could see the foot traffic had marked the trail. Fun and safe adventure for you 2 doing the repel. . Thanks again.
Definitely on the Friendly side both ways, the next trip, that next day, was a bit sportier for us, thanks Ron!
That's nice. I'm putting it on my to-do list.
As you should, it is Great!
Karl - Thank you for documenting Cassidy Arch. I have done this one at least a half dozen times, ever since I noticed the anchors on a visit to Capitol Arch. I appreciate the comments about best practices and your mature response to criticism. Best wishes for a long and happy experience in the canyons.
Yes sir, appreciate your insight as an experienced canyoneer in this neck of the woods! I am also becoming more aware of my responsibility to portray these vlogs as safety protocol examples, as well as outdoor adventure entertainment with an emphasis on high video graphic value as the channel grows. Cheers! Karl 👍👍
Cassidy Arch Canyon was a lot of fun! My buddy and I ran it back in end of November on our visit to Utah. We are used to swift water canyons in the PNW so this was a fun change. Those Utah canyons are very different than what we are used to but a lot of fun. Also interesting to watch other people's techniques that are very different from ours.
I can't imagine running water, I'm a water wuss, lol. My technique is all from a rock climbing background so maybe not the best. . , Cheers!
That was really neat! I have Cassidy Arch by coming up the Frying Pan trail and then down into Grand Wash. My wife said I can’t do the repel at my age so guess I’ll be relegated to your CZcams videos and older guy adventures! I would have loved to have done that adventure. That looked like fun. Thanks for sharing!😀👍
Alway glad to have you along Lyn, I do hope to meet you somrtime this summer passing through Montrose. Thanks Buddy!
@@KarlDeckerPresents That would be great!👍 Thanks
I would definitely be able to master rappelling here!!
Plenty of opportunities! What, eight raps in a relatively short section? Please remember, the videos are for entertainment only, NOT a recommendation for viewers to attempt these actions. Thanks
Sensational! You are so talented in every aspect of climbing. Beautiful videography editing too!
Thanks so much 😊, very much appreciated 👍, Karl!
One word Karl, FANTASTIC !!! 🙂
Petr! Thank you my friend. If you haven't yet, check out Petr's Channel! Great videography and drone work! 👏👏
Thanks for the upload, and all the work that this must have required. You've definitely put this on my list!
Very cool thanks for the comment! I appreciate it, Karl 👍
Yes, helmets are always a good idea in this type of terrain. Some other safety points: attaching to the anchor before throwing ropes and setting up the rappel is a really good habit -- anyone can slip or lose their balance. Backing up a rappel is also a really good idea, no matter how experienced you are, either with a separate belay rope, a "third hand" friction hitch or a bottom "fireman's" belay. And finally, an extra rope (or two) in case one gets stuck. Please stay safe out there everyone!
I did set some bad examples in this video and I appreciate your chiming in. I am relatively new to canyoneering and a bit too daring in general for sharing anyway. . . but, thanks to this video a prominent canyoneer has offered some support and training that I will share in future videos. Win win!
That is badass !n just going down there like that
🙏🙏 Thanks again, Karl
Definitely in the "How Not To" category.
I'd be interested in your feedback. All my experience is with rock climbing and would appreciate advanced knowledge and advice.
That is Tom Jones FYI
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks 👍👍!
Hi ! It is incredible adventure ❤. We are going to do that this fall but I have a question about rope length, I have 230 foot and i am curious is enough for two longest rappels or I need longer ? Thank you, is great to watch your movies . 😎
Definitely bring two ropes and get full beta, I always recommend the road trip, Ryan website and app for the best info I think 2-50m ropes will reach, we had 2-60m ropes with some length to spare, enjoy!
Thank you 😊
