I have been learning and practicing crevasse rescue in my garage and plan to get out and work on anchors once we get some snow here in California. I am planning a trip to Rainier next year and have been thinking about how much and what gear to bring for crevasse rescue if traveling in a 4 man team.
I am thinking each person would have 1 pulley, foot, waist and extra prusik, 2 locking biners and 3 wire gate ovals, belay device and a runner or 2. My main question is about how many pickets to carry. One each seems like a lot for a four man team. I was thinking about bringing 2, carried by the 2nd and 3rd.
Any opinions on how to distribute gear for travel on a glacier with 4 people? Any other suggestion or tips?
