(HA) ICS 2019-20: Lecture - Crevasse Rescue 1

Activity Notes

Andy Nuttbrock will be giving the first Crevasse Rescue lecture next Tuesday. Yay!

Following is additional information re: this lecture and what you need to do to prepare:

Before next Tuesday's lecture:

• Review this video: https://youtu.be/-X-CeXTlR6o
• Review and practice the Munter Mule Overhand
• Review the presentation: ICS Crevasse Rescue Lecture

For next Tuesday evening:

• Please make sure to be on time, or early if you can swing it. There is going to be a bunch of information thrown at you. A new skill will be presented, and the more we can get done before the lecture, the more time we will have for hands-on practice.
• Please bring all your gear: Ice axe, harness, prusik cords, carabiners, slings, anchor materials, ATC/belay device, ropes, pack, gloves, etc. If you have pulleys, please bring them. If not, don't worry as this can all be done with the gear you already have.
• When you arrive, please get into groups of 4. Get your harness on and find an anchor location under the heaters and set up a single runner (or equivalent) on each bolt. (Assistants will be there to help you through this).
• Flake the rope and set up for 4 climbers about 6 meters apart. (This is to save space).
• Once you are done with this, have a seat and we will begin.
