Keeper Pothole Course – Big “Problems”, Big Fun!
For many canyoneers, the ultimate in canyon obstacles is the Keeper Pothole. Whether wet or dry, deep and or wide, these bizarre sandstone features have thwarted many canyon adventures.
Join Excursions of Escalante at the ACA Headquarters for two days of intensive pothole training and begin learning the skill sets to Master “keepers”. Empower yourself and turn those intimidating obstacles into another awesome canyoneering challenge that is manageable, and ultimately looked forward to with confidence.
Variety helps! Escalante is blessed with canyon “keepers” of nearly every shape, size and challenge level imaginable.
