Required Equipment

Everything required for a basic glacier climb including: 

Helmet, harness, ice axe, crampons, mountaineering boots, gaiters, 10 essentials including headlamp and sunscreen, warm clothes, water-resistant clothes, maybe extra socks, lunch, snacks, water, prussiks, hero loops, pulleys, webbing, runners, locking carabiners, etc...we'll be practicing roping up and 'climbing' and crevasse rescue on snow in addition to ice ax arrest.

If you have rain pants please bring them, as we'll be practicing ice ax arrest and will be getting wet. If you don't have, no worries, just wear pants you don't mind getting wet and a change of clothes for the car ride home!
