Our Activity Guidelines

Knowing what to expect is important, these activity guidelines have been created to create consistancy in our events. Some of these guidelines are not set in stone, so always read an event description before going. Some of these guidelines are rules to make sure we don't push beyond what is safe. Most of our events are public events where individuals attending will likely have varying amounts of skill and experience, this is a very important consideration when leading group events. If you are looking for something more challanging, come let us get to know you. Once we are familiar with your experience level and capabilities, you may get invited along to more challanging events, almost all of our event leaders also lead prive events that may go beyond the boundaries set by these guidelines.

Canyoneering

In addition to our mountaineering rules, the following apply to canyoneering.

  • We use the ACA Canyon Rating System as a general guideline.
  • Only canyons with a rating of 2B II or below are allowed as public events.
  • Canyons with a rating above 2B II need to be approved by an organizer.
  • Canyons with a rating above 2B II can be led in the group as private events where the organizer only invites individuals know, individuals with sufficent skill levels for the event. Theses events should be considered to be a "group of friends" and not official Utah Outdoors events.

  • Bouldering pads must be used when bouldering.
  • Always climb within your capabilities and descend by down climbing, do not jump from the top.
  • Never climb above or below another individual.
  • Keep hard objects out of the bouldering area at all times.
  • Event leaders should get organizer approval before leading any bouldering events. Event leaders should know how to properly spot other climbers.
