- Recent (last 1 - 2 month) outings that show your fitness for a long day on technical terrain (heavy pack conditioners including time and pack weight, scrambles, other climbs, etc)?

- A list of your glacier climbs from the last two years
Requests that do not include this information will be ignored. Registering for the climb without first requesting permission will result in your removal from the roster.
