Finally we all touched the ice! And had a good roll around on it too…
First on the agenda, ice axe arrests. Throwing ourselves head first, feet first, face first, and even doing forward rolls straight down the glacier. All in the name of health and safety! Truly this is a safety exercise.
Next up was rope skills and crevasse rescue. Hopefully not to be needed, but great fun anyway.
By the end of the day we were all a bit tired and cold, a good night sleep was much needed. Off to the top tomorrow!
BSES HQ receives expedition field updates weekly so check back every Monday to see what has happened in the week gone by.
