Itinerary:
Come out and practice Crevasse Rescue skills before winter. This is NOT a course, just a practice session. If you forget steps we can work through them as a group, but this event is for people who already are familiar with Crevasse rescue systems. If you have it, please bring something heavy to use as your "victim"
Required Items to Bring:
Bring everything you need to practice (minus ice screws or ice axes). We will need one "victim" per group. Spare tires work well- really anything heavy that can be tied to a rope will work. It is difficult to practice with no weight on the rope. I will have 2 ropes. Ideally we'd have 1 rope for every 2-3 people. You will need locking biners, prussic cords, harnesses, slings etc.

Recommended Items to Bring:
HEADLAMPS. It is dark early and it is hard to rescue people when you can't see them. If anyone has a lantern, that would be great. (Last year we did this just with headlamps and it worked fine too)

How to Get There:

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!


*Cancellation Policy*: If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
