Station 1: Adequate equipment | Station 2: Correct roping up

Equipment gives you peace of mind! However, choosing the necessary and appropriate gear requires special care and expertise, since we have to rely on our equipment 100%. The second part focuses on roping up on a glacier. How much distance? Brake knot or not? Where to put the excess rope? These questions will be discussed on-site. There will also be plenty of time for practice.

Part 1: Adequate equipment: Selecting the necessary and appropriate gear requires special care and expertise.
Part 2: Correct roping up: How much distance? Brake knot or not? What to do with the excess rope?

Station 1: Team hoist | Station 2: Rope pulley

Two methods of crevasse rescue—“team pull” and “rope pulley”—are demonstrated and explained in detail. Practice is especially important here, as the rope pulley is a complex rope maneuver that must be executed flawlessly under difficult conditions.

The maximum group size is 6 people. If possible, participants should bring their own equipment: a hip belt, carabiners, and slings. The ropes will be provided by the Alpine Club. In addition, there will be an equipment depot on site to supplement any missing items.
