It’s that time of year again to brush up on your glacier travel skills before heading to Mt. Rainier, South America, Denali or other mountains around the world where crevasses pose a danger!
The ACRS Seminar includes a lecture, field day, and detailed workbook.
This course consists of one lecure in which we will be be reviewing knots, safe glacier team travel, and various rescue techniques including the “C” & “Z” rescue pulley systems. We will follow up the lecture with one field day where we will simulate crevasse conditions by hanging victims over a cornice on top of Loveland Pass. There will be lots of hands-on practice for students performing as rescuers and victims.
Course Prerequisites:
This seminar is open to HAMS graduates and those with comparable experience, and is not an introduction. This course is intended to be a detailed and complete review of glacier travel and crevasse rescue.
