HOW TO CREVASSE RESCUE with Xavier De Le Rue | How To Xv

If you are crossing glaciers, it is worth knowing how to undertake a crevasse rescue, something hopefully you never have to use, but worth having in your toolkit. In this episode of How To Xv I go through the steps of how to rescue someone who has fallen in a crevasse. Covering the steps you have to take, securing yourself, creating an anchor and belaying, this video will give you a basic overview of what to expect, but the reality is you need to get out there and practice this, because if / when it happens, just knowing the theory will only get you so far. Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below. Edit by: Tim Burgess Motion Graphics by: FX Pergola. Thanks to: Swatch, Smith, Rossignol & Crosscall.
