Course Description: Sean Isaac is an ACMG Alpine
Guide based out
of Canmore. This course is for hikers, scramblers
and climbers who
want to learn the basics about glacier travel.

cover glaciology for climbers, dividing the rope
for glacier travel,
shortening the rope, firn-line transitions, route
finding, crevasse
rescue, snow and ice anchors.

previous glacier travel
knowledge but some hiking or scrambling experience

idea. The course instructor has extra crampons,
ice axes,
harnesses and helmets for use on a first-ask,
first-serve basis if
participants do not have their own.
