MountainLIFE Glacier Travel Skills
Saturday, June 24, 2023
Learn how to rope up for glacier travel, route finding, and crevasse rescue techniques in this two-day course. On the first day you will meet your guide at the Wilcox Campground near the Columbia Icefields. You will need to check in and setup at your campsite, as campsites are not included in the trip and are first come first serve. Once you complete a gear check, head out to a crevasse rescue practice site. On day two, you’ll travel onto the North Glacier of Mt Athabasca. Technical equipment is provided. Transportation is included. This program is being generously supported by the Wim and Nancy Pauw Foundation. For ages 31+
