canyoneering?
as in the sport? routes? or is this a hike with some paved portions and you are taking liberty with the word? Kind of negates/dilutes Scott's sport a little don't you think?
"Although hiking down a canyon that is non-technical (canyon hiking) is often referred to as canyoneering, the terms canyoning and canyoneering are more often associated with technical descents — those that require rappels (abseils) and ropework, technical climbing or down-climbing, technical jumps, and/or technical swims."
