SUMMARY:UBERFest: Vegas 2015
DESCRIPTION:UBERFest:  Vegas 2015!!\nWho wants to go to Las Vegas for some canyoneering?! \nThe only fee for this 4-day canyoneering extravaganza is a $30/person non-refundable cost-sharing fee which includes camping at the Lake Mead National Recreation Area’s Group Campground … and a location off-site for showers … woohoo!! (Please carpool as parking is our limiting factor!)  As canyoneering is an inherently dangerous activity\, this event is only open to those with professional canyoneering training or significant canyoneering experience.  And\, as this is a social event\, anyone competent/qualified to lead a canyon should plan on helping to lead rookies through some awesome\, canyons! \nIf you want to go to this event (or any UBERFest) … get the required Uber Adventures training and become a competent participant and valuable team member!  \nCAMPING: I’ve reserved group campsites in Lake Mead NRA\, NV.  The group campground is for tent camping only with limited vehicle parking. Group campground accommodations include water\, a common area restroom\, picnic tables\, fire pit and limited shaded areas.  We can accommodate about 60 people/tents\, but only half as many cars! \nWEATHER: Highs in the 50’s-60’s and lows in the 40’s … this is the perfect time of year to explore this part of Vegas Canyoneering … when it’s cool enough to enjoy the hot springs! \nCARPOOL:  DO IT!  It’s 5 hours away from LA. 2-3 people to a car would be reasonable when you consider camping gear\, coolers\, canyoneering gear and shuttling to the canyons. Also\, it is likely that you will be doing some of your canyoneering with your carpool mate since you are sharing transportation. Many of the roads to the canyons in this area require high clearance or 4×4 .. when you are making your choices for drivers\, please keep that in mind! \nYou are responsible for your own travel\, and your own meals …except!…  we will absolutely DO A POTLUCK  at 6:00pm on Saturday evening … picnic-type food!  i.e.: pasta salad\, burgers\, sausages\, potato salad\, cole slaw\, hot dogs\, buns\, chips\, salsa\, salads\, beer\, wine\, jello\, …your family favorite!  Please do not plan on bringing dessert unless you are baking it yourself .. Plan on bringing a main course\, salad or side dish to feed 4-6 people (not enough to feed an army .. that’s not necessary!)\, and the means with which to cook/heat it up/serve it … if required. Also\, you are responsible to provide your own plate\, cup\, spoon\, knife\, fork .. etc. \nCANYONEERING: We are camping near the ‘Black Canyon’ canyoneering region of Las Vegas\, NOT the Red Rocks Region.  Some of these canyons have hot springs\, small waterfalls\, a lot of them end at the Colorado River and some require a short packraft either up or down stream in order to exit.  In addition to the Canyoneering\, there are awesome hikes to hot springs\, kayak rentals from Willow Beach\, tours of the Hoover Dam\, and a crappy casino not far from camp (if you like that sort of thing!)  For those of you who need beta for the 17 technical and non-technical hikes in the Black Canyon region\, I have for sale the new book — Las Vegas Slots: A Guide to Canyoneering in Southern Nevada … pick one up from the Uber Adventures store in Chatsworth or give me a shout and I can mail you one ($24.95 + tax & S&H)! \nDIRECTIONS TO THE CAMPSITE: Will be provided to participants. \n–Sign-up Here! —

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:Map & Compass Navigation
DESCRIPTION:Map & Compass Navigation (aka Orienteering):  The Art of Staying Found\n“I’m pretty sure you can’t get there from here.” –overheard–\nGain confidence in finding your way and knowing where you are whether you’re on-trail or traveling cross-country.  This comprehensive 2-day course covers the essential skills of back-country navigation using the most reliable equipment:  Map & Compass \nYOU are the ‘WHO‘ … we’ll provide the ‘WHAT‘\, ‘WHERE‘\, ‘WHEN‘\, ‘WHY‘ and ‘HOW‘ of Map & Compass Navigation.  In the age of Global Positioning Satellites (and the electronic devices used to access the network … commonly referred to as GPS units)\, why is learning Map & Compass navigation still relevant?  Think of a GPS as a luxury\, and a Map & Compass as a necessity.  Will a GPS work if the batteries die?  Will a GPS work in a canyon?  Will a GPS work when it’s overcast or if under a canopy of trees?  Will a GPS be useful without maps?  The answer to those questions is “probably not!”  While a GPS is a fantastic tool\, it is not as reliable as ye olde map and compass. \nStaying found (or not getting lost) is not an instinct or an innate skill … but it CAN be learned.  \nIn this vital class\, you’ll be trained in and have time to practice the following: \n\nParts of a Compass & how they work together\nMagnetic North and how to use Declination to adjust for True North\nTopographic Map Legend\, Symbols & Contour Lines\nTerrain Recognition for interpreting features\nMicro-Navigation to keeping track of exact location\nDead Reckoning for obscure navigation challenges\nNaismith’s Rule & Backpacker’s Rule for trip preparation and estimating distance travelled\nOrienting a Map in the field\nTaking Bearings/Plotting Bearings\nFinding Location through Triangulation\nLatitude/Longitude vs UTM Coordinates\nTips & Tricks for Navigating without Map & Compass! \n\n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nDay 1:  …will be held in our classroom in Chatsworth\, CA 8:00-5:00pm \nDay 2:  …will be held in-the-field near Agua Dulce\, CA (about 20 miles up Hwy 14\, so consider setting up carpools during the class on Day 1)  9:00-2:00pm \n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nThe cost of this 2-day course is $195 and includes all instruction\, handouts and USGS topographic maps (quadrangles) for the practice area.  Compasses will be available at the store at a 15% discount ($45.89).  The compasses we recommend and the ones which will be for sale are the Silva Ranger CL.  If you decide to bring your own compass or another brand/style\, please be sure it has a sighting mirror\, orienting arrow\, orienting lines\, clear base plate\, declination scale and a rotating dial/bezel. \n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nHosted by Klaus Gerhart  |  Instructor: Brian Swanson  Canyon Leader for Canyoneering California\, Basic Mountaineering and Navigation Instructor for Sierra Club’s Wilderness Travel Course.
