The goal of the Crevasse Rescue is to teach students the core skills needed to be a participant in a rope team and to create your toolset in order to kick-start your career.
The Crevasse Rescue training will prepare you and your crew to travel over glaciated territory. You’ll learn about glacier gear, roped team climbing methods, and how to rescue yourself and your member(s) from a crevasse. These abilities are required for people who intend to climb snowcapped summits.
