Description

Join us for this 1-day crevasse rescue refresher in beautiful Marymoor Park in Seattle.

After meeting up at Miyar Adventures and Outfitters headquarters in Seattle, we will drive out to the park and begin.

This review session is a bit more academic, so we will not go to an actual crevasse in order to make the most of our time. I recommend bringing a recording device so you can look back on what we have learned at your own leisure.

We will spend the day in the park working on rope management, considerations for glacier travel rigs, setting up snow anchors and 3:1 haul systems, self-rescue systems, transferring the load of a fallen climber to the anchor and problem solving at the crevasse lip.

At the end of our eight hour day, we will put all this practice to the test in various self-rescue and partner-rescue situations.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this opportunity to refresh and practice some crucial crevasse rescue techniques and work on critical thinking exercises!

This course requires some previous experience. If you are interested in taking the first step in learning crevasse rescue, you might also like our 2-day course on the slopes of Mount Baker.

If you already have previous crevasse rescue experience, but want to further your knowledge and skills, then we recommend taking my 3-day advanced course on the slopes of Mount Baker!

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
