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:  AJ Pastula\, \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.  If 30 days notice are not given\, the remaining balance will be due whether you attend the course or not.)  Please read more course/company policies here. \nThis class will begin on Friday evening (6:00pm-8:30pm) at the large parking lot on the left at Elephant Buttress off Canyon Road\, with an orientation\, introduction\, and presentation with an emphasis on the canyon rating system\, gear\, weather\, canyon topography … and getting to know each other.  The class will reconvene on Saturday and Sunday at Elephant Buttress and will run from 7:00am-5:00pm both days. \nRequired gear for this course is a harness and a helmet (We can loan these out if you don’t have them … and we offer a 10% discount for any gear bought before/during/directly after the course)\, and we’ll also be loaning out carabiners\, descenders\, tethers\, foot loops\, prussiks\, etc.  Feel free to borrow our gear for this course\, until you determine what your needs will be.

SUMMARY:Canyon Rescue Course (ACE-L4) Moab\, UT - 'Intensive'
DESCRIPTION:Canyon Rescue Course (ACE-L4) Moab\, UT – ‘Intensive’=All skills presented in only 2 days!\nTrain Hard.  Plan Well.  Be Safe.\n                                                    …but accidents still happen.\nThis Canyon Rescue Course (ACE-L4) by Uber Adventures teaches the skills necessary to perform immediate\, in-canyon self-rescues\, partner rescues\, and how to assist with group emergencies … all with your groups’ normal rack-and-pack (the minimal gear you should carry on your harnesses and in your packs.) \nBoost your confidence and fill your mental toolbox with skills to handle technical emergencies. \nThis course not only teaches you the skills and methods necessary to execute a variety of rescue procedures\, but it provides the impetus for critical thinking through an emergency. \nHow would you help a canyoneer stuck on a rope?  How would you help an unconscious canyoneer stuck on a rope?  How quickly could you figure out how to convert a static block to a lowering system?  Could you haul a rappeller back to the top of a drop by yourself?  Have you ever been in a canyon\, assessing a fictional problem and felt helpless?  Are your responsibilities in a canyoneering event greater because you’re the leader/organizer?  Would you like to be a more valuable team member?  This course is vital for not only canyoneering leaders\, but also for conscientious recreational canyoneers who value their own safety and the safety of their party. \nWith the technical skills presented in this course\, you could prevent the need for calling in an expensive Search And Rescue team\, avoid putting rescuers at risk\, avoid spending the night in a canyon\, and continue a canyon descent with a non-critically injured teammate. \nPrerequisite:  Participants should have some advanced formal canyoneering-specific training.  This course builds on the skills taught in the Uber Adventures’ 3-day Technical Canyoneering Course (ACE-L1)\, the Advanced Canyoneering Course (ACE-L2) AND the Canyon Essentials Course (ACE-L3).  While we are not requiring the completion of each of those courses as a prerequisite\, those who have had advanced formal canyoneering training will find it easier to ‘keep-up’ with this curriculum.  If you’re not sure if this is the course for you\, please give us a call and we can discuss your skills and training. \nThe topics and skills covered will include: \n\nKnots\, Rope Grabs & Progress Capture Methods\nAnchors\, Rigging & Friction Dynamics for Rescue\nMechanical Advantage and Haul Systems\nConverting Static Rigging to Haul or Lower\nAssisted Rappel & Tandem Rappel Techniques\nHero Rescue\, Balancier Lift\nRappelling on a Tensioned Rope\nGuide Ropes\, Tag Lines\, Belays\nCut-and-Lower Procedures\nSpecial Ascending Techniques for Rescue\nPick-Off Procedures Scenario\nConsiderations for musculoskeletal injuries\n\nInstructor: Klaus Gerhart \nThe cost of this course is only $395 and for $50 you can camp with us for 3 nights! (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 begins at our Moab campsite each morning at 7:00am; soon thereafter we will travel as a group to our training site; class ends each afternoon by about 5:00pm.  Feel free to camp with us for $50\, to get your own camping\, or to stay at a motel … your choice.  (Uber Adventures provides no camping gear.) \nRequired gear for this course is all of your personal gear including: harness\, helmet\, safety tether\, foot loop\, prusik\, vt prusik\, ascenders\, rappel device\, carabiners and a canyon cordelette (we can loan out some of the hardware and specialty items if you don’t have them … and we always offer a 10% discount for any gear bought before/during/directly after the course).

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 and others. \nThe cost of this course is only $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.  If 30 days notice are not given\, the remaining balance will be due whether you attend the course or not.)  Please read more course/company policies here. \nThis class will begin on the evening of Day 1 (7:00pm-9:30pm) in Chatsworth\, CA (exact location will be provided in a Logistics & Visitor Guide)\, 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 (we can loan these out if you don’t have them … and we offer a 10% discount for any gear bought before/during/directly after the course\, and we’ll also be loaning out carabiners\, descenders\, tethers\, foot loops\, prussiks\, etc.  Feel free to borrow our gear for this course\, until you determine what your need. \n**Since we do not loan out classroom gear for our recreational canyon descent on the Monday following this course\, consider purchasing our gear kit for this course\, and for your future in this sport!  https://uberadventures.net/product/basic-canyoneering-gear-kit/**

SUMMARY:ACE Certified Guide Assessment (ACE-L5) Moab\, UT
DESCRIPTION:ACE (Association for Canyoneering Education) Guide Assessment (ACE-L5)\nThe ACGA (American Canyon Guide Association) was formed following the dissolution of the ACA in 2011.  The ACGA was to become America’s first professional association for the industry of canyoneering. Four years later\, its volunteer Board of Directors and limited membership have been unable to host the guide assessments for which it was created and it has dissolved. It is the goal of ACE to independently fill this void in certifying guides\, now and for our future. \nACE will provide:\n\nCertification for professional canyon guides\nStandardized curricula for canyoneering instructors\nSafety forums and tools for the canyoneering community\n\nOur Mission: To set an American Standard to which professional canyon guides and instructors can be held; to present a clear path to certification for professional canyon guides; to host professional canyon guide assessments; to develop standardized technical canyoneering curricula; and to develop relationships between land managers\, guide services\, and training providers. \nPlease find below the details on the process to become a certified guide\, and the benefits that accompany certification.  Even if guiding isn’t in your future\, the Assessment is great proof of your competence in the canyon environment.  While this program is new\, it is a strong one\, and one which has drawn on the successes and learned from the failures of a variety of programs\, both in the sport of canyoneering\, and many others. \nThe fee for the ACE Guide Assessment is $295; Registration and 3-year Membership to ACE is an additional $100\, payable directly to ACE. \nPerk to Uber Adventures students:  Uber Adventures will pay the $295 assessment fee for any candidate who has taken all four ACE-L1\, ACE-L2\, ACE-L3\, and ACE-L4 courses with Uber Adventures! \n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nWhat is the path to certification for professional canyon guide?\n\nBe proficient in all of the skills on the ACE Master Skills List.\nSign-up for and pass a 3-day ACE Guide Assessment.\nProvide a Canyoneering Resume showing your:\n\n(1) Training (dates\, courses\, organizations\, instructors) \n(2) Experience (primary leader of 30+ unique canyon descents with 6+ people each) \n(3) References (4 canyoneering professionals or recreational) \n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nWhere do I learn the skills on the ACE Master Skills List?\nThe best way to ensure you learn ALL the technical skills on the ACE Master Skills List is to take the series of four ACE curriculum courses (L1\, L2\, L3\, L4) offered by a variety of providers. Those 4 courses teach all the technical skills on the ACE Master Skills List. You could also learn on your own by attending any combination of courses\, workshops\, practices\, etc\, and then fill-in-the-blanks (the skills you haven’t learned yet) by reading books\, searching the internet\, or learning from friends. This isn’t always easy to do and the skills you learn may not be ideal. During an ACE Guide Assessment\, you will be evaluated on safety\, efficiency\, and canyoneering-specific methods of achieving a goal. Keep that in mind should you choose to learn canyoneering from anyone other than an ACE Certified Guide or ACE Instructor. \n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nDoes ACE recognize other professional canyon guide certifications?\nYes. Submit your request to have your existing certification recognized by ACE\, along with the name of the certifying entity\, the curriculum and/or assessment process you went through\, the date of your original certification and the date of your most recent re-certification. We will assess the program and make a determination. \nIf your certification is recognized\, you will need to register with ACE as a professional member\, pay your membership dues to ACE\, and recertify every 3 years with ACE. \n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nAre other training or certifications required to become an ACE Certified Guide? \nNo. We evaluate your technical proficiency and decision-making as they relate to the technical aspect of canyoneering\, and a general knowledge of navigation\, weather\, hydrology and group health. However\, Wilderness First Aid/CPR\, Wilderness First Responder\, Swiftwater Rescue\, Leave No Trace\, Meteorology\, Navigation and other relevant formal training may be required by your employer\, by land managers\, and by insurance providers. \n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nHow is the ACE Guide Assessment administered?\n\nIn 3 parts: Classroom & Written\, On-Rope Skills\, and Scenarios.\nCandidates will provide their own ropes and equipment for the ACE Guide Assessment unless otherwise indicated by the hosting entity.\nAll skills will be evaluated on safety\, best application\, and efficiency. ACE does not assess interpersonal skills\, teaching style or likability. Therefore\, these traits have no weight during an ACE Guide Assessment. Employers will make these determinations during their interview process.\nCandidates will be graded Pass or Fail\nIn the event of a Fail during the ACE Guide Assessment\, the candidate will be required to retake the entire Assessment at a future date.\n\n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nWhat are the benefits of Professional Membership?\n\nAll the benefits associated with a Sport membership\nPro-deals & discounts (regularly pursuing new relationships)\n\n      Imlay Canyon Gear \n      FiveTen \n      Liberty Mountain \n      Outdoor Prolink  \n\nEvacuation Insurance group pricing (under development)\nRecognition\, relevance\, relationships\nBusiness listings\, Employer/Employment listings & assistance\nProfessional Membership is $100 for three years\, which includes registration\, the creation of a professional PROfile on ACECanyoneering.com\, mailing out the ACE-L5 Certified Guide certificate\, and the helmet stickers.\n\n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nHow long does my ACE-L5 Certified Guide certification last?\nThe ACE-L5 Certified Guide certification is valid for three years\, at which point ACE requires recertification. \nACE Master Skills List

SUMMARY:Canyon Rescue Course (ACE-L4) St George\, UT - 'Intensive'
DESCRIPTION:Canyon Rescue Course (ACE-L4) St George\, UT – ‘Intensive’ = all skills presented in only 2 days.\nTrain Hard.  Plan Well.  Be Safe.\n                                                    …but accidents still happen.\nThis Canyon Rescue Course by Uber Adventures teaches the skills necessary to perform immediate\, in-canyon self-rescues\, partner rescues\, and how to assist with group emergencies … all with your groups’ normal rack-and-pack (the minimal gear you should carry on your harnesses and in your packs.) \nBoost your confidence and fill your mental toolbox with skills to handle technical emergencies. \nThis course not only teaches you the skills and methods necessary to execute a variety of rescue procedures\, but it provides the impetus for critical thinking through an emergency. \nHow would you help a canyoneer stuck on a rope?  How would you help an unconscious canyoneer stuck on a rope?  How quickly could you figure out how to convert a static block to a lowering system?  Could you haul a rappeller back to the top of a drop by yourself?  Have you ever been in a canyon\, assessing a fictional problem and felt helpless?  Are your responsibilities in a canyoneering event greater because you’re the leader/organizer?  Would you like to be a more valuable team member?  This course is vital for not only canyoneering leaders\, but also for conscientious recreational canyoneers who value their own safety and the safety of their party. \nWith the technical skills presented in this course\, you could prevent the need for calling in an expensive Search And Rescue team\, avoid putting rescuers at risk\, avoid spending the night in a canyon\, and continue a canyon descent with a non-critically injured teammate. \nPrerequisite:  Participants should have some advanced formal canyoneering-specific training.  This course builds on the skills taught in the Uber Adventures’ 3-day Technical Canyoneering Course (ACE-L1)\, the Advanced Canyoneering Course (ACE-L2) AND the Canyon Essentials Course (ACE-L3).  While we are not requiring the completion of each of those courses as a prerequisite\, those who have had advanced formal canyoneering training will find it easier to ‘keep-up’ with this curriculum.  If you’re not sure if this is the course for you\, please give us a call and we can discuss your skills and training. \nLogistics:  We do not provide camping at this course/location\, however if you camp near us it is a mere $8/night! \nThe topics and skills covered will include: \n\nKnots\, Rope Grabs & Progress Capture Methods\nAnchors\, Rigging & Friction Dynamics for Rescue\nMechanical Advantage and Haul Systems\nConverting Static Rigging to Haul or Lower\nAssisted Rappel & Tandem Rappel Techniques\nHero Rescue\, Balancier Lift\nRappelling on a Tensioned Rope\nGuide Ropes\, Tag Lines\, Belays\nCut-and-Lower Procedures\nSpecial Ascending Techniques for Rescue\nPick-Off Procedures Scenario\nConsiderations for musculoskeletal injuries\n\nInstructor: Klaus Gerhart \nRead company/course policies here.

SUMMARY:ACE Certified Guide Assessment (ACE-L5) Los Angeles\, CA
DESCRIPTION:ACE (Association for Canyoneering Education) Guide Assessment (ACE-L5)    (This Assessment is FULL!)\nThe ACGA (American Canyon Guide Association) was formed following the dissolution of the ACA in 2011 (though it has attempted reorganization several times since).  The ACGA was to become America’s first professional association for the industry of canyoneering. Four years later\, its volunteer Board of Directors and limited membership were been unable to host the guide assessments for which it was created and it dissolved. It is the goal of ACE to independently fill this void in certifying guides\, now and for our future. \nACE will provide:\n\nCertification for professional canyon guides\nStandardized curricula for canyoneering instructors\nSafety forums and tools for the canyoneering community\n\nOur Mission: To set an American Standard to which professional canyon guides and instructors can be held; to present a clear path to certification for professional canyon guides; to host professional canyon guide assessments; to develop standardized technical canyoneering curricula; and to develop relationships between land managers\, guide services\, and training providers. \nPlease find below the details on the process to become a certified guide\, and the benefits that accompany certification.  Even if guiding isn’t in your future\, the Assessment is great proof of your competence in the canyon environment.  While this program is new\, it is a strong one\, and one which has drawn on the successes and learned from the failures of a variety of programs\, both in the sport of canyoneering\, and many others. \nThe fee for the ACE Guide Assessment is $295; Registration and 3-year Membership to ACE is an additional $100\, payable directly to ACE. \nPerk to Uber Adventures students:  Uber Adventures will pay the $295 assessment fee for any candidate who has taken all four ACE-L1\, ACE-L2\, ACE-L3\, and ACE-L4 courses with Uber Adventures! \n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nWhat is the path to certification for professional canyon guide?\n\nBe proficient in all of the skills on the ACE Master Skills List.\nSign-up for and pass a 3-day ACE Guide Assessment.\nProvide a Canyoneering Resume showing your:\n\n(1) Training (dates\, courses\, organizations\, instructors) \n(2) Experience (primary leader of 30+ unique canyon descents with 6+ people each) \n(3) References (4 canyoneering professionals or recreational) \n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nWhere do I learn the skills on the ACE Master Skills List?\nThe best way to ensure you learn ALL the technical skills on the ACE Master Skills List is to take the series of four ACE curriculum courses (L1\, L2\, L3\, L4) offered by a variety of providers. Those 4 courses teach all the technical skills on the ACE Master Skills List. You could also learn on your own by attending any combination of courses\, workshops\, practices\, etc\, and then fill-in-the-blanks (the skills you haven’t learned yet) by reading books\, searching the internet\, or learning from friends. This isn’t always easy to do and the skills you learn may not be ideal. During an ACE Guide Assessment\, you will be evaluated on safety\, efficiency\, and canyoneering-specific methods of achieving a goal. Keep that in mind should you choose to learn canyoneering from anyone other than an ACE Certified Guide or ACE Instructor. \n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nDoes ACE recognize other professional canyon guide certifications?\nYes. Submit your request to have your existing certification recognized by ACE\, along with the name of the certifying entity\, the curriculum and/or assessment process you went through\, the date of your original certification and the date of your most recent re-certification. We will assess the program and make a determination. \nIf your certification is recognized\, you will need to register with ACE as a professional member\, pay your membership dues to ACE\, and recertify every 3 years with ACE. \n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nAre other training or certifications required to become an ACE Certified Guide? \nNo. We evaluate your technical proficiency and decision-making as they relate to the technical aspect of canyoneering\, and a general knowledge of navigation\, weather\, hydrology and group health. However\, Wilderness First Aid/CPR\, Wilderness First Responder\, Swiftwater Rescue\, Leave No Trace\, Meteorology\, Navigation and other relevant formal training may be required by your employer\, by land managers\, and by insurance providers. \n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nHow is the ACE Guide Assessment administered?\n\nIn 3 parts: Classroom & Written\, On-Rope Skills\, and Scenarios.\nCandidates will provide their own ropes and equipment for the ACE Guide Assessment unless otherwise indicated by the hosting entity.\nAll skills will be evaluated on safety\, best application\, and efficiency. ACE does not assess interpersonal skills\, teaching style or likability. Therefore\, these traits have no weight during an ACE Guide Assessment. Employers will make these determinations during their interview process.\nCandidates will be graded Pass or Fail\nIn the event of a Fail during the ACE Guide Assessment\, the candidate will be required to retake the entire Assessment at a future date.\n\n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nWhat are the benefits of Professional Membership?\n\nAll the benefits associated with a Sport membership\nPro-deals & discounts (regularly pursuing new relationships)\n\n      Imlay Canyon Gear \n      Liberty Mountain \n      Outdoor Prolink  \n\nRecognition\, relevance\, relationships\nBusiness listings\, Employer/Employment listings & assistance\nProfessional Membership is $100 for three years\, which includes registration\, the creation of a professional PROfile on ACECanyoneering.com\, mailing out the ACE-L5 Certified Guide certificate\, and the helmet stickers.\n\n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nHow long does my ACE-L5 Certified Guide certification last?\nThe ACE-L5 Certified Guide certification is valid for three years\, at which point ACE requires recertification. \nACE Master Skills List

SUMMARY:Technical Canyoneering Course (ACE-L1) Los Angeles\, CA
DESCRIPTION:3-Day Technical Canyoneering Course (ACE-L1) Los Angeles\, CA\n(…you’re invited to stay an extra day and descend a local canyon with us on Monday!) \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 and others. \nThe cost of this course is only $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.  If 30 days notice are not given\, the remaining balance will be due whether you attend the course or not.)  Please read more course/company policies here. \nThis class will begin on the evening of Day 1 (7:00pm-9:30pm) in Chatsworth\, CA (exact location will be provided in a Logistics & Visitor Guide)\, 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 (we can loan these out if you don’t have them … and we offer a 10% discount for any gear bought before/during/directly after the course\, and we’ll also be loaning out carabiners\, descenders\, tethers\, foot loops\, prussiks\, etc.  Feel free to borrow our gear for this course\, until you determine what your need. \n**Since we do not loan out classroom gear for our recreational canyon descent on the Monday following this course\, consider purchasing our gear kit for this course\, and for your future in this sport!  https://uberadventures.net/product/basic-canyoneering-gear-kit/**
