Preparedness I understand that this trip requires excellent aerobic conditioning, balance, and the skills and gear to pack appropriately, and that I will need to carry an overnight pack with confidence for 6-10 miles per day for multiple days in a row on sometimes very rugged terrain, including steep scree and boulders, moderate exposure and sometimes extended periods of cold wet weather. I certify that I will be prepared with the experience, skills, conditioning, balance and gear to meet the requirements of the trip.

Route I understand that the route will involve extended rugged boulder and scree crossings, occasional steep ascents and descents, and many river fords.

Gear I understand that I will be expected to provide my own overnight gear and clothing that is suitable for extended periods of cold wet weather and rugged terrain. (Tent not required.)

Accommodations I understand that this trip will require some nights’ sharing of bunk rooms with other people that may be outside our party, including people of the opposite gender, and that the huts will not always have running water or indoor toilet or shower facilities.

Food I understand that I will be expected to supply and carry my trail breakfasts, lunches, and dinners during the trekking days.

Travel Documents I understand that I will be required to hold up to date travel documents and international medical insurance and emergency evacuation insurance for the trip, at my own expense. The evacuation insurance should be sufficient to get me back to the hospital of my choice in the United States.

Teamwork I understand that this is a group trip and that participants will look out for and support each other on the trail. Pace, daily start-end times, route and side trips will be driven by the needs of the group and conditions on the ground.

Leadership I understand that safety and well-being of participants comes first and the itinerary and route may change without prior notice based on conditions. While participant input will be valued, the Mountaineers trip leader will be the ultimate decision maker.

Responsibility I understand that the Mountaineers trip leader is not a guide and that I am responsible to know the route and where I am along the way at all times.

Fitness and Medical Conditions I commit to providing a doctor’s certification of medical fitness if requested, and to disclose to the leader and outfitter in advance of the trip about any recent injuries, surgeries, allergies, medications or medical conditions that could impact me on the trip.

Behavior I commit to behave during the trip in a careful and safe manner, to communicate to the leader promptly about any illness or injury, and to put my health and safety and that of my fellow group members first even if this means having to turn around or exit the trip early.

Cancellation Fees I understand that there is a minimum $100 fee if I cancel, plus any non-refundable expenses incurred up to that point.
