this was amazing. period. my son (26) and i went on October 29th, 2017. while we have hiked for years, done a bit of caving, and lots of scrambling and bouldering, this was our first slot canyon -- a dream for several years. we were not disappointed - exceeded our expectations.
Brian is very knowledgeable and led a group of 5 of us through this wonderful canyon. 5 repells total and a few roped assisted drops. we were a pretty fit group but nonetheless it was challenging, but exhilarating. felt totally confident in his ability and knowledge. learned a ton and had a lot of fun (he is a funny and very personable guide). Navtec is definitely our go to for more slot canyoneering -- we are hooked! one note -- the climb out is pretty grueling, mostly stemming up a tight canyon about 600 ft vertical - be prepared for that. not for kids or anyone who doesn't have some endurance. thanks to Brian for a wonderful day -- highlight of our family weekend in Moab for sure.
