mountaineering workshop - April 28, 2024
This workshop will provide some very focused skill development for Mt Rainier or other mountains in the North Cascades, or other big mountains (e.g. Denali), depending on participants' interests. We will have an instructor from the U of U's Department of Recreation and Tourism. Topics to be covered are included, but not limited to, glacier travel, team rope travel, crevasse rescue, running belay on snow, snow travel skills on steep slopes (45-65 degrees), and preparation for climbing glaciered peaks. Approximately 8:00 am-2pm. Location TBA. Participants are expected to have basic knowledge and skills of mountaineering (e.g. how to use crampons and ice axe). This is also a great refresher class for those who have mountaineering experience. Instruction donation - $20/person. Limit 15 participants. Registration is required. Priority will be given to WMC members. Max 15. Registrants will receive more detailed info including the list of required and optional gear.
