Mazamas — For the Love of Mountains
The BCEP snow day field session is held in the gullies near Timberline Lodge. This day affords you the opportunity to practice snow skills such as movement on crampons, rope team travel, ice axe techniques, moving in balance, self-arrest, self-belay, as well as to observe snow anchors.
Activity Notes
Our plan this weekend is to build on the skills we’ve learned previously and to introduce technical snow climbing – including the use of an ice axe, crampons, glacier travel, self-arrest, and glissading. All your rock skills (rappelling, belaying, passing through fixed protection) can be translated onto snow. And we get to add some other fun stuff like self-arrest, quick belays, and roped team travel with running belays.
