THE FINE PRINT

> This is not a guided trip! Canyoneering is a team sport where every member should be able to rappel well, build new anchors and inspect existing ones, rig for all contingencies, manage ropes efficiently and contribute in every aspect of the adventure. All participants should have appropriate training and/or sufficient previous experience.

> You are responsible for your own and your party’s safety.
