The topic of the evening is;

Radical Ropes Clinic - with Neil Warren (ACMG Ski Guide and CAA Avalanche Professional)


PRESENTATION:

Neil Warren (@neilwarrenskiguiding) is an ACMG Ski Guide and CAA Avalanche Professional based out of Calgary, and is also the owner, designer and main craftsman at local mountain gear company Alpine Threadworks (@alpinethreadworks), and also Alpine Endurance (@alpine_endurance), which is science based endurance training designed to help backcountry skiers/splitboarders and mountain bikers realize their fitness goals.


Neil is going to provide an evening clinic focusing on the following:

Rope skills for ski mountaineering including; modern techniques for rappelling / lowering (into couloirs), belaying techniques for steep slope investigations, cutting cornices etc.

This is not a crevasse rescue course, it is a rope skills intro for those looking to get into more advanced terrain.
