CAnyoneering Courses
Our Canyoneering Courses are taught using modern techniques and principles for descending slots found in the eastern United States but also transfer to larger objectives found elsewhere. These courses are Taught by Ryan Mallon who is very experienced with discovering and developing some of the most difficult canyons in this region.
Intro to Canyoneering
Are you ready to experience a whole new sense of exploration and adventure? Through the wild, rugged world of canyoneering you will find yourself navigating complex canyon systems, descending staggering cliffs, and wading through cold waterfalls. In this intro course, we'll cover the fundamentals of canyoneering and how you can become a contributing team member as your group descends a route. Topics such as required specialty gear, rappelling techniques, and body positioning, will be extensively covered along with, of course, tons of time on the ropes!
Canyon Anchor building and Rigging
This course is the first of its kind in WNC and designed to empower you to take on your own objectives. Students will delve deep into the leadership role of descending a canyoneering route and focus on many advanced topics such anchor building off natural features and fixed hardware, rigging for contingency, and various backup systems. The end goal of this course is to impart the skillset you need to tackle adventures all on your own!
