We don't want to tread on anybody toes, but I think it is worthwhile having cannoning in the system.
We are addressing some of the concerns raised anyway because they are exactly the same concerns in climbing.
Yes, I would like to see canyoning in the system. Would need to describe the walk in (approach), lat and long for each rap, if it's a one long multi-rap or just single rappels, canyon exit.
Doesn't that also raise questions about bushwalking routes like the tourist track up Mt Beerwah? https://www.thecrag.com/climbing/australia/glasshouse-mountains/mt-beerwah/route/13462123 Would you then be adding a walking grading system for hiking routes: https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/safety/bushwalking-safety/australian-walking-track-grading-system https://www.aussiebushwalking.com/grading

Not really, climbing grades kinda evolved out of bushwalking grades at least historically and then diverged. eg the states had grade 1 to grade 5 where 1 was easy and 5 'required climbing', and then 5 got split further into 5.1 - 5.10 and then got worse from there. I don't have a good source for Australia ewbank grades but I have seen some people say that the climbing grades start at grade 5 and grades 1-4 are hiking grades. Either way no I don't think we'd entertain bushwalking grades and the approach can stay in the approach field.
From a user:
And later after suggesting it might be ok.
If you do decide to keep these including the banned canyon - then as a minimum then you would need to add the following to the Crag:
You might then also want to add some specific tags, e.g.:
Canyon Grade is already covered via climbing grade.
