Regrouping at the parking area... will the weather cooperate?

Clouds up high

Tim Demonstrates anchor systems

Falling! The rope team demonstrates an arrest

Setting an anchor and attaching it to the rope via a prusik.

The group observes the rescue operation; some find the view more interesting.

Hanging out in a simulated crevasse

Pull!

This shows use of an ATC to 'mind' the prusik. If a prusik minding pulley is used, the ATC is not needed. Note that the prusik is a bit long for effective progress capture.

A Bachman knot can also be used instead of a prusik and it 'minds' better than a prusik. No ATC needed even if the pulley is not a PMP.

Mt Hood, showing the area we did the crevasse practice (near the upper end of the moraine at the bottom of the photo)

On the trail to danger!

At the top of the moraine, getting ready to rope up.

Lots of people climbing Hood today.

Heading out from the Moraine onto the glacier. Clouds enveloped us from time to time all day, but mostly the weather was nice.

Getting set up to drop people into the crevasse.

Falling!

Awaiting rescue....
