  • Canyoning Topos

    Canyoning Topos are a graphical way to represent canyon beta. I've put together a few files to help topo authors create topos quickly using vector graphics tools (I recommend Inkscape, which is open source and a free download).

    Coming Soon! A symbol key for reading canyoning topos (with international symbols!)

    I wrote a collection of SVG files (usable by vector graphics packages) representing various topo symbols.

    I also wrote a PDF file tutorial that explains how to use Inkscape to create canyoning topos. If you don't have a PDF reader (or even if you do) I suggest using Foxit Reader, which is smaller, faster less buggy and less spyware-oriented than other well known PDF readers.
