Intermediate snowcraft (9th/10th September 2006)

Julian and I went on intermediate snowcraft this weekend up at Temple Basin. Mark, Kylie and Dave were instructing us. We discovered how to make snow anchors, how to rope up for glacier travel, and how to rescue people from crevasses.

I was scared going up there because it was so steep but once we made it to the big basin where we did the course then it was fine.

It was pretty cool in the end. Sometimes it was hard work but sometimes all we had to do was hang from a rope while someone else tried to rescue us.
