I had a great time, I learned more than I expected. Thanks Klaus and Alden. I was definitely feeling it Monday morning!!
Mike Nelson, Participant - Technical Canyoneering Course
Another great course taught by Klaus with very practical challenge exercises. The material definitely builds on the skills taught in the introductory course. Extremely fun course that was primarily hands-on training for the entire 2 days. I just love Klaus and his humor, attitude, style of teaching and energy. Thank you so very much Klaus and everyone else in the course for making it a blast.
Yvonne Lomeli, Participant - Advanced Canyoneering Course
You couldn’t ask for a better, more experienced instructor than Klaus. He has a real passion for Canyoneering and it shows! He came prepared with a very detailed course outline which taught the basics of Canyoneering. I came away with a very good understanding of the skills and principles. The class was fun, informative and has piqued my interest to take it to the next level.
David Duong, Participant - Technical Canyoneering Course
Great course with an excellent instructor. Klaus is patient and makes everything challenging and fun but most importantly safe. I don’t think he left anything out. I had a great time out there with a good group. I look forward to the intermediate/advance course. Anybody considering this course at a later date, don’t hesitate, you won’t regret it. Thanks Klaus!
Darin Matus, Participant - Technical Canyoneering Course
This course was great, and it was taught by an even greater guy. Klaus knows his stuff and teaches it well. After only a few days I feel like I can take on just about any canyon. I recommend this course to everyone, and I hope no one hesitates to take it. A great experience!
Mark Crawford, Participant - Technical Canyoneering Course
This 3 day class was awesome. Klaus was knowledgeable and patient. His technical skills taught me confidence in building my own anchors and validating the strength of others. I enjoyed learning with this group. Klaus was able to give individual instructions to all of us. Can’t wait to get back out there.
Julie Mello, Participant - Technical Canyoneering Course
Awesome course. Klaus came prepared with everything needed, taught in an easy to understand way, gave us plenty of practice with all maneuvers, and had a great spot for us to learn in. It was fun and instructive. I’m ready to go Canyoneering.
Somil Viradia, Participant - Technical Canyoneering Course
This is the place if you want to LEARN! I enjoyed the course, all thanks to the way the course was designed and yes of course, what I call the ‘Klaus Factor’!! You are a great teacher. You took the time to make each one of us comfortable and made learning a fun process rather than just boring theory! This class gives a 360 degree view of Canyoneering to beginners.
Pooja Rajendraprasad, Participant - Technical Canyoneering Course
I had attended Klaus’ last training and it was Amazing! I never expected that I will be able to do so much adventure stuff in a 2.5 day course. Klaus is a great instructor and the training was great fun and totally worth the money. Exceeded expectation!!!!

This is the place to learn about Canyoneering and Wilderness / Adventure topics!
Took a class this last weekend there. Klaus (the owner) brought in an experienced professional in the Wilderness First Aid/ First Responder/ EMT field to teach a Wilderness First Aid Class. I used to have an EMT basic license in LA county and I can tell you that the instructor knew what he was talking about and had great real life based tips to share. Now feel much better leading backpacking trips with some of the meetups I belong to.
The facility itself is nice. Its got a great selection of climbing gear, including equipment to custom cut climbing rope and a lushly appointed bathroom. For reals its the nicest bathroom of a business I have ever been to besides perhaps a few really high end hotels or bars.
I will be taking some Canyoonering classes through this place. Its conveniently located near a bouldering/ climbing meca just down Topanga blvd.
Chris Stoneley, Participant - Wilderness First Aid Course
Most excellent job of presenting a lot of technical material in an orderly, understandable progression. Many thanks to Steve and Klaus for their wealth of knowledge and experience and for their patient, upbeat, encouraging style of teaching. It was good to learn the proper techniques and ways to approach canyoneering from the perspective of experienced, certified instructors while keeping the overall ‘tone’ light.
David Guinnee, Participant - Technical Canyoneering Course
Awesomeness as always! Steve and Klaus provided ‘impeccable’ guidance and instruction throughout the course.
Stephen Fullerton, Participant - Canyon Rescue Course
Thanks for another set of tools, building blocks, and great instruction!
Pam Foyster, Participant - Canyon Rescue Course
What a fabulous day! Great group of people and awesome instructors! You have got to meet these guys! If you haven’t tried this, you’re missing out. They are all about safety first, but they teach in a way that makes you count the seconds to rappel and canyoneer! I’d rate this a 15 out of 10! Can’t wait to see what else they’re cooking up!
Carmen B, Participant - Learn to Rappel Class
If you’re looking to learn Canyoneering, this is likely the best place to start. Klaus is not just an expert in the sport, but he is a true teacher as well. He teaches various tools and techniques, emphasizing how to practically apply them in a canyon. This class was jam-packed with exciting, fun and useful information. I’m looking forward to my first canyon.
Anne Doucette, Participant - Technical Canyoneering Course
Klaus is an excellent teacher and Uber Adventures has an excellent curriculum. In fact, this course has to be the best, most comprehensive in the industry. Klaus is extremely thorough. He not only teaches the skills, but he explains the principles behind all the techniques for Canyoneering.
Conrad Wentzel, Participant - Technical Canyoneering Course
Even though I’m not a rookie, this course contained tons of new and useful information, technique instruction and skill-building that I can now use to make sure my future adventures are safer and more fun! Excellent hands-on training mixed with clear explanations of how-why-and-when we use these skills in practical situations! I feel MUCH more confident about Canyoneering now! Thanks, Klaus!
Tony Ochoa, Participant - Technical Canyoneering Course
Highly recommended! Klaus is obviously passionate about teaching and uses class time efficiently. He really packs in a lot of info and gives time to practice. Great value for the money. Great fun and I learned a lot of things that are useful for other sports: emergency signals, knots, bends, hitches, etc.
Rebekah Atwater, Participant - Technical Canyoneering Course
Had lots of fun here, feel like I learned a ton of stuff in just one weekend. Big shout out to our instructor, Matt, for keeping the course lively and fun while educational.
David Durston, Participant - Wilderness First Aid Course
Fantastic instructors and members! Very efficient and clear instruction and excellent training location. I cannot wait to put skills in use and travel canyons! Thank you Klaus and Dave for being excellent trainers and making us laugh. Best experience ever.
Miki Kanada, Participant - Technical Canyoneering Course
The effort that Klaus has put into building a community in the LA area to support canyoneering is impressive. Unlike some other groups that do outdoor classes, Klaus has really thought through the course sequence — in terms of time commitment, pricing, and what you learn — so that each stage you are definitely getting something of value. Also, once you have acquired the skills you have a group of people with whom you can use them. If you’re curious about whether there is anything in canyoneering for you, take a class! You will get your time and money’s worth, whether you stick with it or not!
Richard Wheeler, Participant - Technical Canyoneering Course
This was such a fantastic course! Klaus is an incredibly knowledgeable and fun instructor and the three days flew by. There is a ton of information that is covered, and you definitely leave with the foundational skills and confidence needed to tackle canyons right away. Dave was an awesome instructor as well and it was great to get exposure to his experience and expertise. It was a wonderful experience learning from Klaus and Dave and so great getting to know new people that share similar interests!
Kristy Rainwater, Participant - Technical Canyoneering Course
Klaus is very knowledgeable and can easily communicate technical instruction in a live setting. Many people can ‘do’, but few can teach well. Great job! Klaus always has a great attitude and is willing to involve himself to insure you’re confidently applying what was taught. Thanks for making this such a successful lesson! Lots of fun!
Jason Marvin, Participant - Learn to Rappel Class
This was a great class! …these new techniques created a solid, useful, relevant curriculum that all leaders should have. It was about using tools already learned, applications for the ‘what if’, and increasing the ability to make decisions with a bigger set of tricks and options. Anyone leading groups will benefit from this class. Thank you very much!
Pam Foyster, Participant - Canyon Management Course
I’m a newbie self-taught tree climber. But totally kneel to Klaus who is a Master with rope skills. I couldn’t believe how Klaus managed so effortlessly to get 15 newbies to learn 15 knots from scratch! The man is a master teacher.
John Moore, Participant - Knots, Bends & Hitches Class
Klaus, amazing class! You know your stuff and have the patience of a SAINT! I’d recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn rappelling!
Nora, Participant - Learn to Rappel Class
Incredible, amazing, fantastic!!! Highly recommended. Klaus is simply superb. He explained everything clearly and was able to make us feel safe, secure and comfortable — which for some of us was not easy! He has amazing patience and sensitivity especially when standing atop a 55′ cliff!
Joan Hantman, Participant - Learn to Rappel Class
I had so much fun and met some amazing people! Klaus’ course inspires a respectful and safe Canyoneering community. His teaching style helps you build trust and confidence in the sport so you can focus on the adventure. I had a blast, it was worth every penny.
