This
course focuses on mountaineering above the "firn line,"
that point on a glacier where snow stays year-round and contributes
to the formation of glacier ice. We may encounter some exposed glacier
ice on this trip, but the techniques taught are geared towards mountaineering
in the snow. Snow camping, ski mountaineering, snow anchors, rope
teams, negotiating hidden crevasses, crevasse rescue, and emergency
snow shelters are just a few of the topics that are covered in this
extremely informative cirriculum.
Nearly all of the world's greatest mountains lie above the firn line of their glaciers, and to travel there without these skills is an exercise in folly. Let us show you how to safely watch after yourself - and your partners - in these truly amazing places! |
