Crevasse Rescue + Glacier Travel

Due to the COVID - 19 pandemic, we have adjusted our delivery of Rock and Mountain courses to reduce the chance of gear and individuals' physical contact. As well as limiting any groups of individuals outside of the pre-establish circles.We are excited to offer all the content covered in our normal courses in a blending online/offline format.Step 1: Online course - All normal content for the course is delivered online through presentations and videos. Step 2: Schedule a time to chat or video chat with your guide—a 20-minute session.Step 3: Schedule an outdoor session with your guide. This will be a 1:1 ratio to minimize exposure. Households or those confident about their partner, this may be adjusted to 2:1. A 4-hour session for crevasse rescue or an 8-hour session for Glacier Travel. Or combine both for 1.5 days in the field.

Participants will be submersed into the field for two full days of hard skill training. We'll cover all the required gear for glacier travel and crevasse rescue, a wide range of glacier travel techniques, glaciology, and how to perform crevasse rescue in various scenarios.
