Mount Hotham on the last weekend in August
Now in its 8th year, the Australian Backcountry Festival was developed to share the knowledge and provide an introduction to all things ‘backcountry’. We provide the ski touring program for the event and train the guides cohort. Super fun program with superfun humans.
Level 1: Lowering: Focuses on foundational rope systems, refreshing multi-pitch belays, ascending single ropes, and mastering techniques to safely lower a stuck or injured climber.
Level 2: Raising: Transitions to a single-pitch environment where participants learn how to haul a partner, establish assisted hoists, and perform safe escapes from the belay.
Level 3: Committing: Puts advanced partner rescue and problem-solving skills into practice in more remote environments, ensuring climbers are ready for committing adventure routes.
Ange, Fieldcrafts Technical Director designed and has been delivering this program for 5 years, originally in the Blue Mountains, now in her new backyard, at Mt Buffalo.
