Alaska Mountaineering Trip
Kahiltna Glacier, denali national park

 

navigation | Our guide weaves the rope team through a series of crevasses.

to the rescue | Carmen prepares to pull me from a crevasse using a "z-pulley".

on the edge | Carmen rappels into a crevasse to the prussik herself out again. A prussik is a knot that allows a person to move themselves up a rope and out of a hole.

all dressed up with no place to go | Hanging over the edge of a crevasse waiting for Carmen to pull me up.

ice climbing | We were able to get a small bit of ice climbing in prior to climbing control tower. We'll hopefully get to spend some time doing this next winter up in New Hampshire.
