Activity Notes
This course is taught by the Intermediate Climbing School.
The Snow Anchors and Crevasse Rescue Mini Course is designed to introduce climbers to knowledge and skills that would allow them to participate in and lead a basic crevasse rescue scenario. The course will take place both virtually, with two lectures and outdoors for field sessions. At the end of the mini course climbers will have the basic knowledge and skills to assess a crevasse rescue situation, set an anchor in the snow, rig a haul system, and extract a fallen climber from a crevasse.
Student prerequisites:
- Self-arrest practice
- Suggested prior knowledge: roping up glacier travel, including prusik hitch, figure 8 or butterfly knot
This course does not cover protection systems in ice. The weekend of Feb 20-21 will be used as a make up if we need to cancel a session due to weather.
As with all current Mazama activities, this course will follow the COVID protocols set by the Mazamas to ensure the safety of participants.
