Exercise PERUVIAN PREPARATION - Sunday 16 March 2014

After a series of navigation exercises the team returned to Cameron Barracks for further training. After watching the Alpine Essentials BMC guide to glacier travel the team went through knot tying and moving together. The final test phase was the simulation of a member falling into a crevasse requiring a hoist system to be setup to pull the stricken member out. All of the team picked up the skills, albeit with some remedial knot tying practice required!
