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!

Sandeep and his wife, Jasmine, are lovely guides! We did a 1 day intro to rock climbing excursion with them and we had a great time! They communicated well and provided us with a fun and safe day of climbing. They chose routes based on our experience and taught us a lot. I highly recommend hiring Miyar Adventures. We have already shared their info with friends and family.

Five days of awesome is all I can say. Glen our instructor and guide was extremely knowledgeable. I had previous glacier mountaineering experience and his techniques were so much more efficient than what I had been taught. To top it off we had a great summit day.

Whole group summited! Huge thanks to the guides for helping us all get there! It's certainly not an easy climb, but the entire experience was fantastic. Especially loved the snow skills training on the second day. Lots of fun was had practicing the self arrest & team arrest. The team arrest training was a huge confidence builder to see that I wasn’t going to take the entire team down if I fell The lead guide (Glen) was fabulous. You can tell he really enjoys sharing his passion for the outdoors with the guests on his trip. Folks in the store are super helpful as well. Sandeep (owner) is great, and have talked with him in the store & via email several times to get advice. Great pre-trip guidance (including a meeting the night before the climb to make sure you have all the gear you need & nothing you don’t), and you can tell how much Sandeep cares about making sure every guest has a great experience. Lots of reasonably priced gear rental options available here as well if you aren’t sure if mountaineering is for you. Considering a Kili trip while I’m still in good hiking shape, and they’ll be the first place I look at if I decide to book.

I took the Mountaineering skills course (5 days) in Baker. I learned so much about Glacier travel, rope management, crevasse rescue, and much more! Glen, our guide was awesome and highly knowledgeable. We also got to summit Mt. Baker during the course which was the most magical part! I HIGHLY recommend them!
