Ira has been actively canyoning and canyoneering for over 15 years. He has participated in or led numerous first descents in the US in the San Gabriel's, the early days of Death Valley, the Pacific Northwest and Colorado as well as abroad. Through connections with the international canyoning rendezvous known as the RIC, he helped bring that event to Ouray in 2015. He recently authored a guide book titled Canyoning in the Colorado San Juan Mountains, which added 40 canyons to the previous Ouray guidebook.
