Crevasse Rescue Training Needed!

[Josh Lewis]

Ok, I know what most of you are thinking, "Why the heck would I want to teach a 16 year old crevasse rescue" but I thought it would be atleast worth a try and ask. I have lots of snow experience and of coarse hiking experience and some scrambling experience, but wanted to take it up a notch, nothing to crazy, but wanted to get into simple glacier travel. I also have studied ropes, so I know a bit about rope tying, I have crampons, ice axe, perlon and all that good stuff (although I need a helmet which I may be able to get soonish). I would even be willing to do work for someone if needed, the reason I did'nt join the mountaineers is because it's expensive, even with a scholarship. If anyone is willing, please let me know, I very very very much want to learn about it. Oh and I can also be a personal sherpa.

 

Note: I have one of my friends who is in the mountaineers who is willing to be someone to come along. (Due to the probability of needing 3-4 people total including my friend and me)

 

I'm in fairy good shape, although I could improve that by running again, and if needed study more knots and such.
