Join writer Jeff Greenwald as he joins Zion Adventure Company owner/guide Jonathan Zambella on our classic 3-Day Basic Canyoneering course. Often imitated, but never duplicated, this course helps ordinary people become able canyoneers through detailed technical training and ample hands-on experience. In this article, Jeff takes our course to gain competency and comfort with canyon skills, then leads his friend, Ruth, for a descent of the world-famous "Subway," a stunning back- country wilderness route. After a succesful trip, Jeff and Ruth set their sights on Pine Creek Canyon, stepping up the adventure and the thrills.
