A Special Operations Advanced Mountaineering School student places an anchor around a rock before leading students down the side of a peak in Colorado's Tenmile Range, June 20, 2017. A fixed line is an anchored rope that makes moving across difficult terrain faster and safer. The Senior Mountaineering Course students led a force of untrained Soldiers up the 13,000-foot peak during a reconnaissance mission as part of the course’s culminating exercise.
