Glacier Skills and Crevasse Rescue Course

American Alpine Institute
Back to Blog

This past weekend six climbers from around the Northwest
gathered on Mt. Baker to hone their glacier skills.  We began the program in the basement of the
AAI world head quarters.  These programs
begin with a gear sort and debrief of the itinerary.  After going through everybody’s equipment we
loaded the AAI transport vehicle (AAI #1) and headed to the mountains!
