Crevasse Rescue Demo

Crevasse rescue demo on the Mendenhall Glacier, Alaska. Instructor is demonstrating the Canadian Drop Loop system (I think). Apologies for the missing footage (and for the wind) - this was not meant as an instructional film.

    all looks good. only objection is that you not hear a thing being said.

    Did they really drop someone into a crevasse just attached to the guide without a backup if the guide slips?

    I agree. This looks like an unsafe demo. The only way this could possibly be a safe demo is if the victim is sitting on the bottom of the crevasse before the guide puts in ice screws. This way the victim can't fall any farther and can't pull the guide in.

    It's not ideal, but it's a realistic situation if you are in a 2 person rope team. They might have had specific reasons to demonstrate/train for that.

    I'm sure it was a very shallow crevasse

    How did you set the anchors after you painstakingly used your ice axe to pick two little holes in the ice?

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but you'd never be roped in on glacier where there is no snow. You can't self arrest and your fallen teammate will pull the two of you in. Am I missing something?

    I don't think necessarily... On glacier walking you should always be roped in case a team member falls in, snow or no snow. However, on steeper terrain on snow with high chances of avalanch, go one by one by at least 10m a part un-roped incase an avvy pops you have your other team members to conduct the rescue. But that's a judgement call depending on your conditions...

    O think you have it backwards. If there is a lot of snow then you can get away without ropes (though it is not recommended due to hidden crevasses). On glacial ice you always want to travel roped. The team can self arrest if one person falls.

    Certainly if there is ice like this, enough to build an anchor on the ground with ice screws, and someone takes a fall, you've got pretty small chances of catching them, especially in a two person group, and if it's deep, might pull the other person/people in too

    Nice but always position your audience on the good side; they will engage with the lesson more.

    Too noisy. It's impossible to understand the directions. it should have been taken into account.
