ADVANCED TOTEM TRAINING-WITH RICH CARLSON

Come spend an evening with Rich Carlson, Canyon Master, founder of the ACA and CGI with 40+ years of rescue, canyon and training experience! He invented the Totem and will be showing you the advanced methods of how to use it.

The original Totem is the ‘Swiss Army Knife’ of rigging devices. Deceptively simple looking, the Totem is remarkably versatile. Use it for belaying, releasable rigging and hauling systems, or as a rigging plate. Use it for rappelling – it’s simple to add friction mid-rappel and simple to lock off. You can even ascend with it.

Designed by ART of RopeWork instructor Rich Carlson and produced by Rock Exotica, the Totem is available worldwide through your local Rock Exotica dealer or directly from Rock Exotica.

Bring a chair, your gear, and your Totem, if you have it. There will be discussion and hands on opportunity.

There is a non-refundable fee of $25 to attend. Pay now using Venmo, @rich-carlson-5 PIN-8905. Or pay at the event.

A beginning Totem night is also scheduled the day before. If you attend both, your fee is $40 for both.

There will be a raffle for a Totem!
