Kijubi Canyoneering?

Canyoneering - definitely one of Kijubi’s most popular activities and one for which we continually get rave reviews.

All summer we’ve been getting amazing feedback about this fast growing sport that has only become widely popular in the USA in the last few years.  One such glowing report came from a Kijubi partner, SCOA (Southern California Outdoors Adventurers) when they took 13 adventure-seeking Los Angelinos out to try their hand at scaling rock faces and rappelling down waterfalls.

Kijubi customers’ comments on canyoneering included:

When I posted the pictures of canyoneering to facebook I was baraged with comments like.. you lead the coolest life of anyone I know.” This event ROCKED for those of us with beginner climbing skills for whom it was a real adventure to rappel, etc! ”.

“So much fun and excitement.  MUST do activity; experience of a life time!”

“Awesome time.  The guides, people, weather, experience – all worked together in perfect harmony and then I went and had yogurt.  What a perfect day.  Canyoneering is FUN!”



The guides where great, very knowledgeable and always emphasized safety.”

“It will be hard to top this adventure. Thanks.”

“Great event, gorgeous weather, great people… rappelling underneath the waterfall was definitely a highlight.”

Mountain High, Puke Low.

Well, we knew it was coming, and it’s finally here. Rain. Yes, rain, wind and more rain has descended upon us like mongols riding down the steppes. The storm is here, and I’m pumped. This weekend I was thinking about doing some back country snowboarding in the local mountains, and there just isn’t a base yet at 8,000ft. Hopefully we’ll get dumped on and come sunny saturday I’ll be building kickers and dodging trees.

This morning, however, was a completely different story. It was a sunny morning and I woke up early and did a hike from the base of the canyon to top of the world with a hot girlfriend on mine. Twenty minutes before our hike I was rushing out the door, and pounded a big bowl of cereal. Thinking nothing of it, we charged up the mountain and I was feelin strong. Just before the top, bam, my stomach just lost it. The dairy had to go, and that was it. After about three good hurls my enitre cereal breakfast was sufficiently puked out for some lucky deer to lick up later. I felt fine after that and we continued our hike. Note to self, don’t do intense physical exercise right after downing a large amount of milk. Next time, I’m nibbling on a chew bar and saving breakfast for afterwards.

Monkey's Wedding

So sayeth the south africans, ain’t nothing but a monkey’s wedding. That’s when it’s raining but also sunny out. This afternoon the coastal trails were a dream. Brilliant sun cutting through the canyon while rain was drizzling down. It’s such a unique weather set that it inspired in me a sense of time. I’m not sure I remember the last time I was out enjoying a sunny rain. Was it a soccer game I played as a squirt? Can’t be sure how accurate that memory is, though I remember the smell of the grass. Suppose it’s good I’m makin new ones then. I guess some things only happen every once in a blue moon.
