Our story
Why we built a canyon platform, from a stuck rope.
A stuck rope in a narrow canyon
Canyon started the day our founder's rope got stuck on a pull, a mile into a slot with no exit. The beta he'd been given was a forum post from 2012. It was wrong.
The idea
What if every canyon had a living page — route, flow, anchor condition, and a community that updates it after every descent? That's what we built.
How we beta it
The origin story is the short version. The long one is on the blog, with the photos from that first stuck rope.
