French term or phrase: assurage

This term keeps cropping up im my press release about a mountaineering skills weekend in the Alps. The list of things you can learn includes:

- Encordement et assurage sur un glacier
- Assurage en neige et pose de corps mort
- Courses d’arête (assurage en mouvement)

I can't seem to get anything out of google, so perhaps some mountaineer is not up a mountain this morning and sitting at their desk instead...

Snow anchor

Explanation:
Belay ou Belaying est le bon mot pour ce terme ; néanmoins, comme on parle également de glacier et de neige, j'ai trouvé ce terme dans le Grand Dictionnaire Terminologique.

Toutefois, comme dit sur la page du GDT, cela fait plus référence au matériel qu'à la technique.
A vous de juger
