    My Trip Reports

    Hello, new to Bogley.

    Hey Bogley

    Just returned from a pretty mellow trip to Zion NP. We did no canyoneering as we were with family but my brother and I (both athletic guys, I'm 22 he's a bit younger) were definitely interested in canyoneering. I'm a mountain biker and never thought I'd be stoked on anything else but this looks really cool. So yes, I'm a complete noob, sorry :P

    Anyways, just thought I'd say hello before I lurk here. I'm from SoCal so I won't be back in Utah until I can plan another trip out with my brother or other recruits, hehe. We value our lives, so we'll definitely be taking courses and using guides.

    See you all around!

    Welcome fellow SoCalian......No need to wait til you head back to Zion....there are tons of canyon opportunities in So Cal (granted many are not as beautiful as Utah). The San Gabriels are full of them........

    Nice! Cali doesn't seem as noob-friendly as Utah. Can you recommend a starting point? An intro course my brother and I can take?

    I don't know SoCal very well so I don't know how far away this is, but there is a rappel practice set up on http://www.meetup.com/ACA-Canyoneering/. They have quite a few of these so its a great place to meet people who can point you in the right direction.

    There are plenty of noob friendly stuff here.....I would recommend just getting some basic rappelling instruction before spooling out the dough for a full fledged class. That way you can practice that and join a led group through a beginner canyon (Little Santa Anita, Bailey, etc...) to see if you're into it enough to warrant paying for more in depth training.

    ATS and Uber Adventures are the only companies that I know of that frequently teach classes in the LA area. Rich Carlson/ACA also teaches sporadically in the area.

    Rich hasn't been down here since March 3rd.......But Canyoneering California (Uber Adventures) regularly holds regular beginner rappel classes for like $40 at Stoney Point.

    Klaus is a good guy, can't go wrong with him as an instructor.

    Thanks everyone. I've got my eyes and ears open and will jump on the first opportunity after the 28th! (CPA exam that day for me).
