goatboy Posted September 25, 2002 Posted September 25, 2002 Hello folks, I'm looking to go up on Hood and practice crevasse rescue, and ideally, do some ice climbing on the seracs. Does anyone have any recommendations as to a good area to go check out? I'm hoping for something relatively approachable so we can maximize our time practicing instead of approaching. Any suggestions are welcome, especially if you have recent condition reports. Thanks very much! Steve Quote
iain Posted September 25, 2002 Posted September 25, 2002 Lower icefall, Eliot Glacier, approach from Cloud Cap or Tilly Jane in 1 hour or less. Not very realistic conditions for crevasse rescue as it is a dry icefall w/ no seasonal snow. Can practice mech advantage systems and whatnot though. The ice is in good shape, was up there last weekend. Quote
Alex Posted September 25, 2002 Posted September 25, 2002 hike to top of Palmer, turn right. traverse into White River canyon, there are some large crevasses at the 8500 foot level there that you can lower into and practice in. Alex Quote
