Are you planning to venture out into glaciated terrain? Do you know how to pull someone out of a crevasse if they fall in? This course provides the foundation for traveling on glaciated terrain and what to do if someone falls in. Rescue skills, required gear, and rope team travel are essential for any climber looking to climb any glaciated peak. 

​This one day course covers the essentials of traveling on glaciated terrain, hazard recognition, and crevasse rescue systems. Throughout the day, we’ll break down each technical system needed to successfully pull someone, or yourself, out of the hole and apply it towards the larger crevasse rescue setup.

There will be plenty of time to ask questions, practice individual skills, and refine your understanding of crevasse rescue and the techniques involved in successfully extraditing someone from a crevasse.  A basic working knowledge of climbing techniques such as belaying and knot tying is recommended to get the most out of this course.
