Course Content: A one-day course ($162.5 including taxes) designed to introduce the concepts of drytooling—the use of ice axes and crampons on rock in a winter setting. Topics covered will include safety considerations, tool handling, pick placements, crampon footwork, efficient movement and resting strategies.
Prerequisite: No previous ice or mixed experience is necessary for this course. However, some climbing experience is preferable whether it be indoor/outdoor, lead/top-rope or rock/ice. The only real prerequisite is that participants must be able to offer a safe top-rope belay.
|
| Required Items to Bring: |
|
Equipment: Participants should have their own
harness, helmet, belay device, boots and
crampons (mono-points are ideal but not
necessary). I can supply extra ice tools.
|
|
| Recommended Items to Bring: |
|
Other obvious items to bring are warm clothes
and a down jacket considering you will be
sitting around listening to lecturing. Bring
your own food for lunch and snacks and a
warm/hot drink. It might not be a bad idea to
bring a camera to take photo's and assist you
in
the future to look back at the various things
you learned over the course of the day.
