Dec 5, 09 - Snowshoer在Goat Mountain不幸罹難

ALEXYIM

一名snowshoer12月5日聯同兩名友人到Grouse Mountain的Goat Mountain snowshoeing. 這名二十多歲的行友從Goat Mountain頂下山時失足墜下400米山坡而死.

北溫搜救隊經理Tim Jones說發生意外的地點需要冰爪, 冰鎬及繩索, 但這三人沒有帶上這些裝備, 況且他們只穿上鋼管形的雪鞋, 抓力不夠, 這也是導致增加意外的風險.

為一個年輕人的逝去而難過! 也希望所有冬季的戶外活動愛好者要留心, 在雪擔, ridge, headwall不要走得太開.
一雙backcountry用的雪鞋是基本裝備.

A snowshoer fell 400 metres to his death Saturday afternoon on the North Shore Mountains.

The snowshoer, who was in his early to mid-20s, was descending from the summit of Goat Mountain when he slipped and fell.

Search and rescue crews were training not too far away, but there was nothing they could do by the time they got to the young man.

Tim Jones, team leader for North Shore Search and Rescue, told ctvbc.ca Saturday night that the death underscores the need for outdoor enthusiasts to have proper gear and skills when tackling icy and technical terrain.

The trio were snowshoeing in an area that requires crampons, ice axes and ropes. They had none of those things, Jones said.

"Snowshoes don't cut it," he said.

He added that the three were wearing sports snowshoes that have "lightweight cleats."

Since 2000, there has been one other fatality and one serious injury in that area, Jones said.

Sad，这个周末雪崩概率低，地面都是硬冰雪，回到停车场，听有队友说路上摔了好几跤，问了一下，原来早早脱了MSR雪鞋，雪鞋走硬雪窄路虽然笨拙了些，但毕竟MSR雪鞋鞋底有多钢齿可以抓地，要安全很多...

强烈建议我们一般的雪季hiking硬雪情况下至少都带上Kahtoola MICROspikes.....

这次去Garibaldi 幸好听从Lulu 的劝告，没有坚持穿我的休闲型雪鞋，而是借用俱乐部队员的MSR鞋子，确实避免了很多危险。

不过在回来的路上，听某个队友说到她在下山途中由于较早脱掉雪鞋，发生了一次小滑坠， 掉下雪坡，最后很幸运地蹬到一个树桩才刹住车，而且当时她与前队拉开了距离，发生危险时，身边没有队友，手套磨破了，但所幸身体基本没有受伤，等缓过来，她又下行把跌落的装备找回，再设法返回到原路，很是惊险。

所以冬天行走，除了装备上要尽力完善外，我觉得一定要坚持2人以上一组一起行动，发生意外时可以及时援手。

很多時樹幹附近的雪會比較鬆軟一點. 要時腳掉進了樹洞, 有時候會很難揪出來, 要脫身要費很多時間挖掘才成.  

2人一組是最基本的要求.

安全意识真的是很重要，自小来过逝以后，每次召集贴里都有“一定要三人一組結伴同行”，但我们有少数时候还是做得不够好。户外安全不怕一万就怕万一，希望我们大家都能坚守“自己不走单，也不让队友行单”的基本原则
