I should be able to make this.
How do these events usually go?

American Canyoneers is a new organization.
It is generous of ATS to provide this event - and they are experienced at running events.
But a lot depends on who shows up and what they want.
Tom (speaking off the cuff...)
The info for the event...
I don't care if we've come home safe, and also opened/set some really badass routes here on Maui with training from ATS. That doesn't make ATS a "Reputable/stable company" to me! Just because I've learned most everything I know from ATS, doesn't mean they know what they're doing. I mean explaining techniques with extreme details of pros and cons. Or gaining experience to keep my crew alive... that means NOTHING!Quote:

Here is a picture of a chicken that went into my truck with me in the background... which has nothing to do with the American Canyoneers event.

Canyon Lunch !!

San Dimas.... This sounds very useful, and fairly close.
I wanted to say thank you to Darren and Sonny along with the rest of the ATS crew that put together and helped with the American Canyoneers self-rescue event this weekend here in CA. We spent the first day at the ATS training facility covering things from the basics to practicing self rescue techniques spawned from round-table discussions and scenarios. Day 2 was a nice cool drizzly day in Rubio Canyon practicing techniques learned from the day prior along learning more techniques and tricks to have in our arsenal when confronted with problems to solve in a canyon. As Sonny mentioned to me, skills are perishable. I agree completely, so it was good to practice already known self-rescue skills so that I would be more efficient when confronted with problems. Here are some pics.

come to Utah with one of these events!
So true, "skills are perishable". Got to always take the time to practice, refresh, and practice...
Love what this organization is doing!
