SUMMARY:Technical Canyoneering Course (L1)
DESCRIPTION:3-Day Technical Canyoneering Course (L1)\nLearn to Canyoneer!\nCanyoneering and Canyoning are terms used to describe an adventure sport that combines hiking\, wading\, swimming\, jumping\, sliding\, boulder-hopping\, scrambling\, rock-climbing\, sometimes packrafting and always rappelling — often over waterfalls. \nCanyoneering is an emerging adventure sport in the US\, and has grown significantly in popularity over the past decade.  This sport has unique risks and requires a very specific set of technical skills to enjoy it safely.  Rock-climbing\, caving\, mountaineering and swift water training teach related skills for your ‘toolbox’\, but Canyoneering has become highly specialized\, and much of the gear and many of the techniques of Canyoneering are distinctly different from those of the other sports …and\, that’s where we come in! \nPrerequisite: None \nThis is a beginner to intermediate course which teaches the skills necessary to safely descend canyons as part of a group (being a competent participant and the knowledge to recognize and implement safe canyon practices). This course is designed to quickly get the beginner up-to-speed on basics\, to give both the rookie and intermediate canyoneer new tools for his/her toolbox\, and will help intermediate cayoneers refine their current skill set!  The topics and skills covered will include: \n\nKnots\, Bends and Hitches\nCanyon Rating System\nRules\, Ethics\, Style\, Communication and Courtesy\nSpecific Gear Choices\, Requirements\, Use and Care\nBelays\, Lowering and Handlines\nNatural\, Artificial\, Transient & Human Anchors\nStatic and Contingency Riggings\nRope Deployment\, Coiling\, Bagging and Etiquette\nRappelling Techniques & On-Rope Skills \n(Adding Friction Pre-rappel\, Mid-rappel\, Locking Off\, etc.)\nSpecialized Rappelling Techniques \n(Hard Starts\, Soft Starts\, Free-Hanging\, Over-Hanging\, etc.)\nBasic Climbing & Down Climbing Skills \n(Bridging\, Stemming\, Partner Assists\, Partner Captures\, etc.)\nSafety Checking and Basic Self-Rescue\nAnd\, within each of these broad subjects are a myriad of skills and tools.\n\nHost:  Klaus Gerhart          Instructors:  Klaus Gerhart\, Collin Goebel \nThe cost of this course is $395. (The course fee is non-refundable\, but may be put toward a future class during the same calendar year if 30 days notice are given\, cancelling your participation in this course.)  Please read more course/company policies here. \nThis class will begin on the evening of Day 1 (7:00pm-9:30pm) at the new HQ for UBER Adventures\, 21901 Devonshire St\, Chatsworth\, CA 91311\, with an orientation\, introduction\, and presentation emphasizing the canyon rating system\, gear\, weather\, canyon topography\, safety considerations\, and a rundown of the logistics for the rest of the course … and getting to know each other.  The class will reconvene on Days 2 and 3 at Stoney Point Park in Chatsworth and will run from 7am-5:00pm both days. \nRequired gear for this course is a harness and a helmet (I can loan these out if you don’t have them … and I will offer a 10% discount for any gear bought before/during/directly after the course)\, and I’ll also be loaning out carabiners\, descenders\, tethers\, foot loops\, prussiks\, etc.  Feel free to borrow my gear for this course\, until you determine what your needs will be.

SUMMARY:Learn to Rappel Class
DESCRIPTION:Learn to Rappel Class\nInterested in learning to Rappel & Canyoneer?\nDid the movie 127 Hours intrigue you?!\nThis rappelling class is a very basic introduction to rappelling\, safety checks\, communication and fireman belaying (bottom belaying). This class is in no way a substitute for the full Technical Canyoneering Course. This class will\, however\, provide you with an introduction to rappelling\, safety checks\, communication and bottom belays that can make taking the full course more beneficial. \nWe will spend the whole day rappelling at Stoney Point in Chatsworth. \nSingle strand on 8.3mm and 9.2mm static canyoneering ropes! \nWe will also bring a couple of descenders for you to try:  Piranas and Figure 8’s. \nThat’s all we’re going to do … all day.

You may participate all day or for a few hours … it’s YOUR day. \nGear for this class will be provided (however\, if you have a climbing harness\, any kind of helmet [climbing\, bicycling\, kayaking\, snow boarding\, etc]\, a pair of gloves [mechanics\, cycling\, weightlifting\, garden\, etc.] … please bring your own!)  And feel free to bring any gear you have questions about … we’re happy to show you how to use your own descender and to answer any/all gear questions. \nWe will be scrambling around a lot as we rappel\, scramble back up\, rappel\, scramble back up\, rappel\, scramble back up\, etc. ….so wear some comfortable shoes with good ‘grip’ .. trail\, running\, approach shoes all work well (don’t wear rock climbing shoes). Bring sunscreen\, sunglasses\, maybe a hat\, and clothes/layers appropriate for the forecast. \nThis Learn to Rappel Class is open to everyone .. so invite your friends\, your teenage kids\, your spouse to join!  If you’d like to organize a private event for your students\, colleagues\, friends or for a family reunion\, just give us a shout!  This event also is a tremendous team-building activity! \nThe cost for this class is only $45 per person!!  The $45 is non-refundable but may be put toward a future rappelling class in the same calendar year if 30 days notice are given cancelling your participation on this date.  Read more company/course policies here. \nEvent Host/Organizer:  Klaus Gerhart         Instructors:  Collin Goebel\, Jeremy Eng \n________________________ \nWhat people are saying about this class: \n“What a fabulous day! Great group of people and awesome instructor! You have got to meet Klaus! If you haven’t tried this\, you’re missing out. Klaus is all about safety first\, but teaches in a way that makes you count the seconds to rappel and canyoneer! I’d rate this as a 15 out of 10! Can’t wait to see what else he’s cooking up. Thanks to Jason for his assistance!”  -C- (Carmen B 2/2/13) \n“Best Meetup I’ve ever been to.  What a great group of people .. Klaus encourages us all to support one another and we learned how to care for each others’ safety!  I look forward to more adventure and instruction!  Thanks Klaus\, I loved every minute of it.”  -Lynda- \n“Had a blast!  Met very cool people.  Klaus is a great instructor\, super supportive and his assistant(s) are knowledgeable and patient!  Can’t wait to do it again.”  -Aurora-
