This night we will do a glacier travel gear check and intro into crevasse rescue
We will plan on meeting at 6:00pm on the grassy hill between the tennis center and Robinswood Pond. The closest parking to the location where we will be practicing can be accessed at the end of 151st Pl SE. If you choose to park in one of the other parking lots at the park simply work your way to the Eastern side of the park and you should be able to find the group. It has been my experience there are typically not a lot of people with ice axes throughout the park so we should be easy to identify.
Required Equipment
Bring all the technical equipment you would ordinarily have with you on a glacier climb. Please also bring your mountaineering boots and crampons you would plan to use on a glacier climb.
