I've used a TLR without a tripod .
everyone has.

So why is a tripod required ?

The tripod is only required for the *photo tours* which have fewer
numbers of *serious photographer* participants, and which are not the
typical crowded tourist tour.
In the slot canyons the light conditions are low light-high contrast,
so the best results are obtained with long exposures making a tripod a
vital accessory. High ISO alone is not going to solve the problem. HDR
would help, but even there a tripod would be a big help. All needed to
get images such as these:

The typical tourist with a P&S or a phone camera shooting on auto, or
scene mode is not going to be very happy with the results they get.
they end up looking like this:
