Welcome to Basic Canyoning for SAR Responders. This specialized training is offered exclusively to Search and Rescue (SAR) team members by Wild Sky Adventure Guides at a discounted, private rate.
The primary goal of this training is to build a solid foundation in recreational canyoning, allowing students to become safe, autonomous team members in a canyon environment prior to entering these areas for rescue missions.
Due to the technical rope and rigging experience that SAR team members already possess, this curriculum goes beyond standard introductory courses. It includes intermediate-level skills specifically focused on partner and self-rescue in canyon environments.
The lead instructors for the Introduction to PNW Canyoning Courses are Brent Roth, Austin Edwards, and Sam Keller.
All three instructors are certified Lead Guides by the International Canyoning Academy (ICA) they have years of experience teaching introductory courses.
