This beginner-intermediate course is designed to teach you the skills necessary to be a contributing member of a team descending canyons up to and including Class 3. Even if you have already been descending canyons for awhile, this course is your first step in transitioning from a handful of memorized techniques to a true understanding of anchor, rigging and rope systems. You will need to bring your own gear for this course.
Schedule in progress
The ART-1 Canyoneering course will be taught by Rich Carlson on June 22 and 23. He will be instructing his ART-2 Canyoneering course the following weekend on June 29 and 30.
