Info
Steep Creek Course
Over the years we have been able to locate a number of progressively challenging steep and vertical drop locations. Due to the enormous amount of melt water from the mountains our creek courses tend to run a little later than in other regions. We use a number of natural and artificial steps to develop your drop running technique in a structured, progressive manner. Once you have mastered the basics we move to natural sites for you to perfect your steep river-running style. Hazard awareness and general river skills are taught alongside creek running techniques to ensure that your skills are fully rounded. If you want to improve your boof, flare and melt down, we’ll have the answers. By building your confidence, skill and river awareness you will soon be able to tackle bigger drops and more challenging rivers in confidence and safety.
