Potholes & Aid Climbing

Potholes and keeper potholes can present some of the most challenging and creative problems encountered in technical canyons. This workshop explores a variety of techniques for avoiding, escaping and moving efficiently through potholes while managing the group and available resources.

Training is highly hands-on and focuses on problem solving, sequencing and selecting appropriate techniques for the situation.
