Mountain Phase
Over the last 2 weeks , we were in Jasper learning multiple new skills oriented toward the mountain.
We started with a few days of basic top rope rock climbing and anchor building, then we mouved on with lead climbing and finished the first week with Multiple pitch climbing with gear and no bolts… that was fun
After that we went on crevasse rescue , avalanche refresher and we went up to 11500 Ft on top of Mt Athabasca… that was a blast… We got the perfect conditions to climb , witch made it quite a bit easier.
We finished the 2nd week with lowering\ raising system with pullys to be able to bring the stoke liter to injured peoples stuck in the mountain.
It was a great phase and tones of new skills learned….
2 more weeks and it’s done now
