    &lt;p&gt;Want to test your rescue climbing skills?  Feel like an old dog who could use  a week of useful rescue climbing instruction to improve you abilities.  I can think of no better place to put your rescue ability to the test the Mount Baker.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img hspace=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;http://www.summitclimb.com/glacie2.jpg&quot; align=&quot;baseline&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;trebuchet ms,geneva&quot; color=&quot;#660033&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;Hello Friends.&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;trebuchet ms,geneva&quot; color=&quot;#660033&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; Would you like to join us for a glacier travel, crevasse rescue, ice climbing, snow-camping session including a climb of Mount Baker (at 3285 metres, the most northerly volcano in the 48 contiguous United States) for a week during June or September? It is a good way for you to meet with some of our expedition leaders, including Daniel Mazur, and learn and hone your glacier travel and rescue and ice climbing skills. You can also test some of the equipment we use in the Himalaya too...&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;trebuchet ms,geneva&quot; color=&quot;#660033&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ask lots of questions, then sign up for our glacier school: &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;a onmouseover=&quot;rollIn(this)&quot; onmouseout=&quot;rollOut(this)&quot; href=&quot;mailto:info@SummitClimb.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;info@SummitClimb.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Trebuchet MS&quot; color=&quot;#660033&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Check the site out for dates and reservations: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.summitclimb.com/&quot;&gt;http://www.summitclimb.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

    Here is a useful website for knots.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.animatedknots.com/indexclimbing.php&quot; target=&quot;AnimatedKnots&quot;&gt;Animated Climbing Knots by Grog&lt;/a&gt;  Animatedknots.com displays many of the most common knots in a slow video display so a beginer can understand the specific knot assembly process.  Take time to mouse over the frame numbers to see each step in the knot process.  Excellent quality video and top quality instruction.  So take a moment to visit this site and learn how to successfully tie a new know today.
