What we'll do...

This clinic will be an opportunity to ask questions about various rope techniques that may be used when skiing and then practice them. This includes learning how to use specific equipment you may have questions about. There is no set agenda, it will be dependant on the questions you bring with you.

Eg.

How should I attach to the rope for glacier travel?

What can I use a Rad line for?

How can I set up a 6:1 pulley system?

How far apart should I space out on the rope for glacier travel?

What should I bring in my crevasse rescue kit?
