About Helix

Here at Helix we are always seeking to improve. As adventure builders rooted in challenge courses, we put the experiential learning cycle into practice. Do - Learn - Improve - Repeat.

Who You’ll Work With

Brycen has been a part of the outdoor industry for the last 19 years, starting in competitive rock climbing as a youth. He started working on ropes courses in 2006, where he assisted with his first ropes course build and acquired a level 2 facilitator certification.

While earning his Bachelor’s Degree in Construction Management from Brigham Young University, he was offered a position as construction manager for a ropes course company. He fulfilled that role for 6 years before starting Helix. During that time he refined construction techniques and practices, developed training manuals and taught himself 3D modeling software to aid his clients.

He is a Level 2 facilitator, certified challenge course manager, and ACCT certified Level 2 Inspector. Brycen loves the principle behind the helix, that ever revolving cycle of learning. He is active in the challenge course industry and frequently attends ACCT and other conferences.
