Students will work in pairs practicing a variety of rigging techniques in a canyon environment.  Students will rig multiple types of fixed and releasable systems, and learn the application and context for each. Students also get a chance to practice making decisions about rigging based on a variety of factors including water, rock quality, and team competence. Time permitting, the group will descend a canyon, however the majority of the practice will occur in one section of a beginner canyon that's well-suited to practice a variety of techniques.
