There was a bunch of people that came up from the Bay Area team. We had three wonderful teachers, I can't remember their names though. They were from http://www.shastaguides.com/ We were learning self arrests of all sorts. Falling on your butt, face down and on your back. Putting crampons on, walking, with them on.Basic ice ax use, practiced kicking steps up steep snow slopes, descending with the plunge step (they had a name for it???) They had all sorts of great pointer for us, very interesting.
Tomorrow we are all going to hike up Castle Craggs:-) It was snowing hard all day:-)
