What to Bring
It is ideal to practice with your usual and familiar equipment, so bring all the gear you normally carry with you when you are on the river. For activities that require specialized equipment such as setting up anchors and mechanical advantage systems, we'll provide the necessary components. During this class, we will spend a fair amount of time in the river practicing skills and completing scenarios, so be prepared with warm gear. We have wetsuits and booties that you are welcome to borrow, but for early or late season classes, drysuits are more comfortable. Drysuits are available for rent from Alpenglow Mountain Sports (208-331-2628) or Idaho River Sports (208-336-4844).
