Understanding the fundamentals and advanced techniques of crevasse rescue can make you a valuable member of your climbing team. This 2-day course will cover one of the worst-case scenarios in the big mountains….falling in a crevasse. During this 2 day course, we will go over a lot of topics including knots, hitches, glacier travel, snow anchors, crevasse rescue scenarios, hauling, and ascending.

Due to the fact we are on the east coast and don’t have actual crevasses to work with, we will have to use our imagination! The main thing with this course is that you get dialed on the skills needed to rescue someone so when a worst case scenario happens in the big mountains you will know exactly what to do!
