Uber Adventures' Canyon Leader Course (ACE-L3) is designed to prepare some for organizing or leading canyons and others to improve skills and expand the number of tools in their toolbox; specifically providing the next level of skills training through technical instruction and experiential practice. While these tools are a vital component for any active canyoneer, they are imperative for anyone leading rookies, kids, family or friends into a canyon. This course provides strategic training for unexpected technical and group management challenges ... when things don't go quite as planned!

While this course is designed primarily to meet the needs of recreational canyoneers, it also provides a bridge between the Advanced Canyoneering Course (ACE-L2) and the Canyon Rescue Course (ACE-L4), and forms the training foundation for those planning to seek ACE certification as a Professional Canyon Guide! (While it is not required you take ACE-L2-L3-L4 Courses in sequence, it is recommended.)

SKILLS covered include:
• Group Gear Choices & Distribution, Pack Management
• Strand Isolation and Leapfrogging for speeding things up
• Static Courtesy Rappels to make hard-starts easier
• Dynamic Courtesy Rappels to make super-hard-starts safer and easier
• Lowering Systems for emergencies and speed
• Pre-Rigged Rappels and Rigging Kids for Rappel
• Static & Dynamic Edge Protection to increase rope life
• Direct Top Belays, Handlines and Sequencing
• Advanced Belay Techniques & Rappel Friction for Long Rappels
• Passing Knots on Ascend and Rappel & Changeovers
• Advanced Lock-Off Methods
• Converting Static Block to Lowering System for assist or rescue
• Isolating In-Field Rope Damage (Core Shot)
• Constructing a Swiss Seat for rescue or gear failure
• Rappelling on a Munter for emergencies
• Advanced Friction Options

Prerequisites: Since this course builds upon the skills and techniques presented in our Technical Canyoneering Course (ACE-L1) AND our Advanced Canyoneering Course (ACE-L2), we recommend that you've either taken both courses or have significant relevant personal experience before taking this class (please inquire if you're unsure if this is the correct course for your current skill set).

Tuition: This Canyon Essentials Course (ACE-L3) is only $395 per individual. This is an expedited version of the 2-day Canyon Leader Course (ACE-L3). All skills will be covered in only 1 long-ish day, but there will be a maximum of only 4-5 students!
