Crevasse Rescue Course
Essential skills for glacier travel safety including rope ascending techniques, crevasse rescue systems, and both roped and unroped fall scenarios in glaciated terrain.
Overview
Crevasse rescue has a few different contexts to be familiar with:
- Roped travel - team is travelling attached to a rope on the glacier when a fall occurs:
- How to ascend out of the crevasse from dangling on a rope
- How to raise someone out of a crevasse after catching their fall
- Unroped travel - crevasse fall happened while the skiers were skiing unroped:
- How to ascend out when a rope has been sent down to you (same as the scenario above)
- How to get the rope to someone in the crevasse (either rappel to them or throw the rope to them)
