NEW MINI-COURSE: INTERMEDIATE SNOW CLIMBING

This class covers intermediate level alpine snow climbing skills (the level of skill taught in the Mazamas ICS program), including proper crampon and ice axe technique for high angle snow conditions, roped team travel and negotiating glacial terrain, protection techniques, including running belays, fixed line travel, belayed pitch climbing, and snow anchor building. Two evening lectures are followed by two days in the field on either the Eliot Glacier, the White River Glacier, or the Ried Glacier on Mt. Hood.
