Canyoning canyoneering / abseil / rap / grades

[brendanheywood]

Something for a rainy day in the future or maybe just never:

• [ ] add canyoning grades for raps, eg see this route:

Probably the best candidate for stuff like this is the well established canyoning grades: http://canyoning.wikispaces.com/Canyon+Grades

To do some time around when we also add slack lining grades :)

Hand in hand with this would be a new gear style of 'abseil'
