Glacier Climbing & Crevasse Rescue

The crevasse rescue section alone was worth it, especially the detailed pulley system setups for self-rescue when you're climbing alone. Most guides gloss over the actual hauling mechanics, but this one walks through every step like you're standing on the snow with them.

I've been climbing for years and still picked up several new tricks from the steep snow travel chapters. The diagrams for setting up anchors are clear enough that I finally feel ready for bigger glacier objectives.
