Traditional Rock Climbing and Abseiling

Safe Glacier Travel and Ice Skills
Learning to traverse on ice and rock requires skill and practice. Members will spent about two to three days on ice learning the basics of ice craft, building anchors and how to cross crevasses safely in glaciated environments.
Crevasse Rescue and Self-Rescue
Members will have the opportunities to rescue themselves or self-rescue out from a crevasse using ascending techniques and also have the chance to rescue their friends after arresting their fall.
