On the first day of the course, you'll become familiar with the specialized gear, review the knots and hitches you learned in your pre-work, and create your personal cows tails that are sized to you. You'll review communication techniques specific to a noisy canyon environment, and begin to think about Security Fatal Errors (SFEs) - the category of mistakes that could lead to serious injury or death in a canyon.
Required Equipment
All equipment is provided for use during the course. However, if you have your own helmet, whistle, wetsuit, canyon shoes, or canyon-specific descender that you would like to use, let the instructor know in advance.
Please arrive on time and bring a water bottle, writing utensil, lunch, and a few layers to accommodate air conditioning, basement temps, and outdoor temps.
Snacks will be provided throughout the day, but plan to bring your own lunch.
