Being able to rescue a partner from a fall into a crevasse is a basic skill that any mountaineer needs. Courses in the crevasse rescue program cover equipment used in crevasse rescues, self-rescue techniques, partner rescue techniques, problem solving when in a rescue situation, building rescue systems, leading a crevasse rescue, as well as crevasse avoidance and basic glacier travel.
Students can progress through the whole crevasse rescue program and be ready to build crevasse rescue systems and lead rescue teams, or take either class as a stand-alone course to introduce themselves to crevasse rescue skills or build on basic skills they already have.
