Mountaineering 302- Glacier Skills and Crevasse Rescue


If you aspire to climb bigger mountains out West or abroad, learning to rope up for and travel over glaciers is essential. You’ll also need to know how to extricate yourself or your partner from a crevasse. Though there are no glaciers in the Northeast, our instructors can teach you all of the latest tricks and techniques for navigating though these hazards. A portion of the day will be spent learning the basics of glacier rigging for different sized rope-teams, as well as equipment options and crevasse rescue systems. We will then set up and practice the demonstrated techniques in the field. We require technical climbing experience or participation in one or more of our mountaineering courses for this hands-on, technical program.

This course is best paired with our Three Day Mountaineering course if you are serious about embarking on mountaineering trips to some of the western glaciated peaks!

Topics Covered: roping for glacier travel, hasty anchors for snow and ice, glacier travel techniques, crevasse self-extrication, crevasse rescue for your partner, hauling systems, belay anchors using snow and ice
