Review information about the canyons

At the Festival

To sign up for a trip, first check the Activities Table to see if someone has already started a similar trip sign-up. If your desired trip does not already exist, take a blank sign-up sheet, fill it out as an “Instigator” or “Participant”, place it on a clipboard, and put the clipboard on the Activities Table.
All sign-up sheets will be placed on the Activity Table in the Ouray Community Center (where all social activities are held). Sign-up sheets will be posted on the door of the Community Center at the end of the evening social each night.
In all cases, the organizer/leader retains the right to refuse anyone. The best way to ensure you get a space on a trip is to volunteer to Instigate or lead the trip.

Release of Liability

The canyon instigator and/or canyon lead is not an instructor, guide or guru. Each participant is responsible for his or her own safety, as well as looking out for everyone else's safety. Activities at height in wet canyons are dangerous and can result in serious injury or death.

Remember this DISCLAIMER: All workshop leads, canyon leads, and canyon instigators are NOT COMMERCIAL GUIDES OR INSTRUCTORS! All activities are run as a group of friends that get together to have fun and learn from each other with no fees involved. These vertical sessions are no substitute for PROFESSIONAL TRAINING. Keep in mind...

YOUR SAFETY IS ALWAYS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY!
