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!
Join us for a fun filled adventure combining rappelling and waterfalls. This trip is perfect to beat the summer heat and have some adventure at the same time. All equipment provided, but you'll want to bring a dry change of clothes for afterwards. These trips happen at Upper Creek Falls 15 miles north of Morganton, NC.
This class runs at a minimum of 2 people. If only one person signs up the 2 person rate will be applied so bring a friend.
