Crevasse Rescue Skills Course - Private

- Duration: 2 Days
This Private 2 day course provides a foundation skill set which allow students manage a crevasse fall incident. Day 1 focuses on the basic hauling and extraction systems including the 2:1 Drop Loop System for victims who have fallen in while traveling on a rope team. Day 2 focuses on how to add mechanical advantage to the 2:1 Drop Loop System, increasing your pulling power to a 6:1 System.
