Two-day crevasse rescue and glacier travel course. 

Day 1:

-The deep dive into ropes and technical systems. The bread and butter of crevasse rescue is lowers and raises. If you can switch between the two, you can do everything you need! You’ll get a chance to play with all the equipment and test out different combinations. We’ll also intro getting roped up for glacier travel and different configurations. 

-Ropes/technical systems day will be in Squamish.

Day 2:

-In the snow practice for the messy parts of crevasse rescue. Moving while roped up and establishing anchors. We’ll practice a few different types of anchors and how to go from being dragged down by your partner to being able to pull them back out! We’ll dig around in the snow and run though scenarios of pulling each other back out.

-You’ll need full ski touring kit (with extra warm layers for being in the hole) and all the items we identified the day before.

-Field day will likely be at Blackcomb however it will be conditions dependent.
