A Favorite


After wandering about on the glacier looking for a suitable cravase to practice some rescue techniques we ended up going to the face of the glacier that was overhanging nicely. Bob set up the anchor system and tests a portion of it in this photo.


Launching the rope.


At least for now, this is my favorite photo of the trip. Thanks for the pose Bob!


After we both rappeled down we practiced ascending up the rope (Look ma, no crampons!). Even though I wasn't really using my crampons for much of anything while we were messing around on the glacier ice I still managed to break a front point. Oops, guess it is time for another pair.
