Crevasse Rescue Pocket Guide – A Field Reference

Crevasse rescue is one of the most technically complex skills a mountaineer
will ever need to learn; it is also one of the most essential. While climbers
can go for years without having to set up a Z-pulley system, they need to be
ready for that one crucial moment when it is essential.

The Crevasse Rescue Pocket Guide allows glacier climbing parties to have a
rugged, packable resource to reference in the field. Climbers can pull it out
on their way to the climb, at a pre-glacier break on the route, or for a few
minutes at night in the tent?it’s a convenient, step-by-step refresher to look
at on trips where this knowledge may be needed.

Similar to Mountaineers Books› successful Avalanche Pocket Guide, the new
Crevasse Rescue Pocket Guide is a full-color, 16-panel laminated and folded
card for in-the-field reference. Alpine climbers will keep the guide in their
crevasse rescue kit when traveling on glaciers.

Not a substitute for training and practice, it’s a handy, lightweight reminder
and reference tool that helps rope mates and rescuers implement rescue
techniques efficiently and correctly in a highly stressful situation.
