Crevasse rescue is a necessary skill for glacier travel at any level. Get your glacier climbing career started right with a comprehensive crevasse rescue course. Our two-day program efficiently teaches the necessary skills for dealing with various crevasse fall scenarios, without rushing through practice of these important tools.
Our four-day Glacier Mountaineering Course on Mount Baker is a technical course designed for recreationists seeking a concise and affordable approach to learning technical alpine climbing skills in glaciated terrain. The well scaffolded curriculum is designed to meet students where they are in their understanding of alpine climbing systems (be that complete novice or more advanced). Starting with the basics, students will engage with essential knots, hitches, anchor systems, self and team arrest, and roped team travel. Towards the end of course, the culmination of these skills will come to bear on learning and practicing crevasse rescue and a summit attempt of Mount Baker.
