Knowledge base Technical terms for canyoning and caving
CanyonZone has included Canyoning and Speleology technical terms here, which can partly be used for other outdoor sports.
Correct use enables fast and unambiguous communication with outdoor athletes who are also familiar with the professional jargon. Are you on the road in a "new" group, check what the level of knowledge is in this area. Otherwise, explain what is necessary for your outdoor trip.
Where applicable, each article contains links to relevant pages/articles on the CanyonZone website.
If desired, also see FAQ or report to us what information you are missing.
