If you’re interested in heading out on your own canyon adventures, exploring new places and staying out of trouble while you’re at it, then you’re invited to join us! This 6 day canyoning course introduces you to advanced rigging, roping and rescue techniques specific to Blue Mountains canyoning. Our instructors are keen canyoners with years of canyon guiding experience under their belts, and they love sharing their knowledge and expertise.
I cant believe I have been taking myself and others out without being on top of this stuff. You don’t know how much you don’t know til you start learning. Kelly, Canyoning Course 2015
I feel like I have a sound understanding of principles rather than just rote learning techniques, so can problem-solve in unfamiliar situations. [I came away feeling that] I have a good base to start exploring simple canyons and building experience from there. Would highly recommend this course to others. Sophie, Canyoning Course 2017
This 6 day course can be run as an intensive that runs the 3 separate blocks together allowing you to build on each new set of skills immediately. Our next scheduled intensive is:
Alternatively the blocks can be completed separately to allow you time to practice each set of skills before going onto the next block
Each 2 Day block: $500 per person incl GST
Total for 6 days: $1500 per person incl GST
In this course you’ll cover the essential roping and anchor skills you need to keep (or get!) yourself out of trouble in Blue Mountains canyons. The first four days you’ll be on the cliff looking at things like ascending a rope, improvising descenders and back-up systems for abseiling. You’ll also be learning advanced rope skills like how to set top belays, rescues and hauls, so you can lead groups of less experienced people into canyons.
The final 2 days are where it all comes together in the canyons, putting your new skills into practice negotiating tricky obstacles, assessing anchors and learning how to back-up and test anchors that leave a little to be desired.
If required:
* We encourage you to bring any canyoning equipment you have. If you don’t have your own gear yet no worries, we can fit you out from scratch.
When you book we will send you more information about where and when we meet and what to bring.
