7. Crevasse rescue - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crevasse_rescue

   Crevasse rescue (or crevasse-extraction) is a set of techniques in mountaineering where climbers use their equipment to pull a climber, who has just fallen into a crevasse, to safety. [1] Crevasse rescue is considered a core skill set in alpine climbing, but difficult to do efficiently. [1] [2] It is typically encountered by rope teams on ...
