Want to try out different canyon specific descenders and canyoneering ropes? Interested in checking out some of the best packs for canyoneering? Want to practice rappelling and get some tips on technique?
This Rappel and Gear Workshop is designed for those that already know how to rappel. (Otherwise, please sign up for the morning Learn to Rappel course.)
From 1 to 4pm, we will have multiple ropes set up (by request), and you can see how they feel on rappel. You can either use your own descender, or try one of the many we can bring for folks to try! We will also give tips on rappelling techniques. Feel free to ask us any gear or technique questions as well. We are happy to help!
From 4 to 5pm, we can go over packs and rope bags, and answer any other gear questions as well. (Specific gear options are detailed in the link below. Feel free to reach out to us with other gear requests such as canyon harnesses; we may have them for you to check out.)
INSTRUCTION: UBER Adventures is America’s premier Canyoneering Instruction, Events and Community!
