Lets get out there, share our knowledge, practice and improve. This session is good for new comers. Attending this will be the first step to see if you can/want-to join in future canyoneering activities. After this event we will do some larger rappels in Red Rock, followed by an easy canyon in Red Rock, then off to Snow Canyon and Zion in Utah for more fun.

You can practice some basic knots shown at the following website.
