I should clarify that while I’m afraid of heights, I thought this would be a chance to overcome it. I do like challenging courses in general.
Are you referring to the Antelope Canyon or are there other slot canyons I should visit. Do you visit anywhere else with the Navajo guide?

I think we only did the slot canyons with our Navajo guide. I may be botching this a bit, but the local tribe(s) has exclusive rights to an area around Antelope Canon and certain other slot canyons nearby. We did a private tour and it was well worth it. There are also companies that do group tours but I don't expect Amangiri would recommend those.
We also did an off property hike that was pretty cool but don't remember exactly where we went.

Anyhow, it has been on my bucketlist for a long time, so I’ll go no matter the current reviews. Will report back here on the 4th of October, not sure if that helps you in any way? It might be in time to cancel your booking free of charge ?

I have 1-3 oktober booked at 4200$ a night which including taxes and fees is almost 11.000$ for 2 nights which is an absurd amount for a standard room, especially seeing the bad reviews lately. So I have similar concerns and low expectations, hope that will help.

I have only a slight wariness when I'm on a suspension bridge or similar and have no problem climbing. I was still a bit freaked out. But each experience is unique. I do think you would be well served to explain your fear and intentions to the hotel when seeking guidance on the appropriate via ferrata. The guides are all really great. They work for a company that is contracted to Amangiri and has operations set up near the hotel.
