What are the recommended resources for developing class C canyon skills?

We have led 15 class A and B canyons and followed 2 class Cs. For class A and B skills, we took an ACA 3-day intro course and read "Freedom of the Hills".

We'd appreciate advice on books, beta, or instruction to be able to safely lead 3CII. For instruction, we could attend a class in California or Oregon.

Thank you.

ATS does great with class C teachings. Not sure if they require you to take all the classes though. I adopted a lot of their techniques for Maui canyons.

If I had time, I could upload a few how-to videos as well. Sadly, I've been super busy.

Looks like they have a swift water class July 27th in LA.

Thank you. This looks like a good course. Are there any classes coming up in the Pacific Northwest or Northern California? Best books and websites for swift water technique? Thank you.
