Zipline Guide
Camano, Washington, United States
As a zipline guide at Canopy Tours Northwest, I was responsible for the safety and well being of up to 12 participants, ranging in age and physical condition, for at least a 2 and a half hour length of time across 6 ziplines. I had to maintain the welfare of the group while occasionally working under stressful, and potentially threatening, circumstances. In addition to leading groups of people, I was responsible for inspecting the course on a daily and monthly basis. This included checking cable tension, bolt torque, and tree health. Furthermore, I trained new guides on the daily routine. This included sending and receiving participants, repelling from heights of 50 feet, as well as other rescue maneuvers in case of emergency. During my time at Canopy Tours Northwest I received a level 1 and level 2 certification from the Association of Challenge Course Technology. I was also certified in CPR and other rescue techniques. As well as the daily zipline procedures, I also co-managed and took photos for the social media profiles of Canopy Tours Northwest starting in December of 2018.
