Canyoning Skills Practice Session - Mountaineers Seattle Program Center

This practice session is open to all members of the Mountaineers canyoning program. The practice session will focus primarily on basic level skills and will have stations set up to accommodate these skills, along with leaders who can provide demonstrations, feedback, and keep an eye on safety. The practice session will take place at the Seattle Program Center from 2pm-6pm. We will meet in Goodman C (the indoor rock wall).

Agenda

2pm: Arrive and begin putting on harnesses. We will have Mountaineers equipment to borrow for the day if needed.

2:15pm: Group introductions. We encourage folks to arrive on time to be a part of the introductions and summary of the day.

2:30-6pm: Practice session

Facilities

If the weather isn't too cold or rainy, we will have access to the outdoor facilities in the North and South Plazas. Please bring warm and dry layers for inclement weather. If the weather doesn't cooperate, we will spend our day inside Goodman B and C  (the indoor climbing wall near the front entrance). 

We'll have dedicated skills stations set up to practice a variety of fundamental skills including:

• Vertical Movement (Ascending, converting to rappel, passing knots)
• Basic Rigging (EMO, MMO, rigging unlinked bolts, traverse lines, etc)

We will have leaders at various stations to provide demonstrations and feedback on techniques, as well as to keep an eye on safety.

Join us for dinner after the practice session at Magnuson Brewery, just a short walk/drive from the Program Center. We plan to be there around 6:30pm.

Hope to see you there!
