Can't express enough how much fun it is to learn from instructors who are knowledgeable, patient, and really funny/fun to spend time with! Our group had every opportunity to ask questions and that vital hands on guidance and practice 🙏
Thank you Tom & Ashley
Tom did a great job with both the Advanced Ropework and Rescue classes. My mind is spinning from all the extra knowledge I gained this weekend. Now I just need to put myself to practicing all my new skills.

Great equipment, class, and Sedona canyoneering experience with AZ Rock and Canyon Adventures. Planning on more with them.
Tom delivered a great beginners Canyoneering Skills class and identified how these skills apply to your safety and enjoyment in Canyoneering. I would definitely consider taking additional classes.
Had a great couple days with guide Tom hiking the McDowell Sonoran Preserve Loop one day and canyoneering the next.

Looking forward to the next trip out!
