Please follow these instructions fully to be considered for this climb. Send your request using the Request Leader’s Permission link on this page between June 12 and June 14; the order that requests are received during this period does not matter. In your request, please tell me about your recent conditioning and recent hikes/scrambles/climbs you have done.
I aim to fill the roster and waitlist by June 17 with a 1:3 graduate:student ratio. Among students, priority will be given to students who have not yet completed a basic glacier climb and are not on the roster for an upcoming one. If needed, participants will be selected at random, up to a maximum waitlist size of 6.
Thank you for your interest! Due to the volume of requests, I may not be able to personally reply to each one.
Rope leaders, you may contact me at any time from May 1.
