Various Lectures

Activity Notes

Tonight is the second of two lectures re: crevasse rescue and will be presented by Jesse Applegate. Yay! Similar to last week, Jesse is asking for the following:

  • Review the lecture presentation: Crevasse Rescue Lecture II
  • Review this video: two person crevasse rescue
  • Practice the Munter Mule Overhand
  • Be on time (or early if you can swing it). We want to allow as much time for hands-on practice as possible
  • 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 you already own a MircoTraxion or Tibloc you can bring them to optionally try as well
  • 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
  • Flake the rope and set up for 4 climbers about 6 meters apart
  • Once you are done with this, have a seat and we will begin
