Canyon rescue operations are widely regarded as among the most technically demanding rescue disciplines within wilderness environments. These incidents typically require the implementation of complex rope, rigging, and access systems, often in confined, vertical, and environmentally dynamic terrain. When swiftwater is present, additional hazards—including hydraulics, variable flow rates, limited egress options, and elevated risk to rescuers—further increase operational complexity. Our Canyon Rescue programs are specifically designed for experienced canyoneers and qualified responders, focusing on advanced techniques, risk management, and operational decision-making required to safely and effectively conduct rescues in these challenging environments.
These courses are for responders operating in or responding to incidents in a canyon or riverine environment. These rescue courses cover access, stabilization, patient packaging and extraction of a subject from a canyon or high angle, riverine environment. We recommend you acquire an FCC GMRS or HAM radio operators license before enrolling in these courses.
