An upcoming canyoneering presentation, a final reminder on courses, and the results from the Ouray Canyon Festival. IMPORTANT: This is a cross post, so you will need to use the links below to sign up for the presentation (free) or courses (paid.)

There is also an opportunity for some private and/or in-canyon training in Grand Junction or Moab from Tue 10/21 thru Thu 10/23. Reach out if you want to discuss options.
Note: I'm the Colorado instructor for Uber Adventures, and primarily teach out of Boulder and Grand Junction. There are other courses taught by other instructors in many other locations (Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Moab, Prescott, and Tuscon): https://uberadventures.net/events/

OURAY:
---------
The Ouray Canyon Festival was another great success with around 100 canyoneers attending, good swag, gear raffle, and lots of positive feedback. Many canyons were descended, thankfully without incident. Thanks to our generous sponsors and attendees, we were able to raise over $3,000 from our gear raffle which will be split, with over $1500 each going to the Ouray Mountain Rescue Team and the Ouray Trail Crew. All proceeds from our raffle are donated to local causes. Photo from the festival included for eye candy, and we hope to see you there next year in August!
Hope it helps, and feel free to reach out with any questions.
Take care,
A.J.
