Practice Crevasse Rescue & Haul Systems
Bring whatever gear you have: prussiks for rope grabbing, slings, pulleys, progress capture devices, biners, static ropes. Bring your harness and a headlight. A warm beverage in a thermos might be a good idea as well.
We will try to simulate an actual rescue event if there are enough participants: being roped in, arresting the fall, etc. There won't be enough snow, however, to practice building an actual anchor (i.e. t-slot), but we can review what that looks like.
Just show up. Sign up not necessary, but it helps me to get an idea of numbers. No prerequisites, so it's fine if you're a noob.
