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

During 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. Skills covered include ascending and descending ropes and back-up systems for abseiling as well as advanced rope skills like how to set top belays, rescues and hauls, so you can lead groups of less experienced people, negotiating tricky obstacles, test and assess anchors, back up anchors that leave a little to be desired.
All equipment including helmets, harnesses, wetsuits, backpacks, dry bags and ropes can be provided at no additional cost.
We’ll also point you towards other resources to work on your navigation, remote area first aid and weather interpretation – other essential skills for canyon leaders.
The course runs over 2 blocks of 3 days to give you plenty of time for practice and prepare you for your own adventures.
Block 1 equips you with the foundation skills for easy canyons or to be self-sufficient when joining experienced groups on more technical trips.
Block 2 develops your skills to be able to manage more complicated rigging and take on a leadership (rescue) role within your group.
This 6 day course can be run as an intensive that runs the 2 separate blocks together allowing you to build on each new set of skills immediately
Alternatively the blocks can be completed separately to allow you time to practice each set of skills before going onto the next block
Each 3 Day block: $825 per person incl GST
Total for 6 days: $1650 per person incl GST
