Risk Management Archive

The Risk Management Archive is a collection of blog posts about different aspects of canyoning and risk management. Wild Sky stands for safer canyoning.

This blog collection is important to us because although canyoning is a fun and relaxing activity, it can get dangerous quickly if you are not practicing proper procedures.

The Wild Sky Adventure Guides Mission Statement states that Wild Sky stands for the promotion of “safer canyoning” and this blog collection is part of our commitment. We also teach low cost canyoning courses and sponsor canyoning events that help to promote mentorship to canyoners who are new to the Pacific Northwest.
