>>1428714Being a good climber helps a lot, but is definitely not required. You DESCEND canyons, rappelling downwards on ropes at times and downclimbing/straight up walking at others. It's a pretty esoteric sport, so I don't really know what to tell you to start with, maybe non-technical slot canyons (Little Wild Horse, Ding and Dang). If you're in Utah (Salt Lake or around there) I'd be more than willing to t each you what I know, I could always use another canyon buddy.
