Crevasse rescue class

[mtn.climber]

Has anyone taken the two-day crevasse rescue class by IMG? Opinions....?

I haven't, but I took the course from TMG (http://www.timberlinemtguides.com/) and it was really good.

The Mazamas teach a crevasse rescue class twice yearly in the spring. This year it was very popular, and sold out. I mention it here so folks searching in the future can find it. (The price is right at $50 Mazama members, $75 nonmembers.)

If you are a student at any of the local portland/salem/corvallis/eugene area higher education schools (PSU, PCC, CCC, OSU, or UO) you might be able to find a crevasse rescue class through the outdoor/physical education department. I've taken numerous crevasse rescue classes, and while I liked the mazama course the best (only for the price, mind you) every one that I have taken has had something good to take home.
