Preparedness I understand that this trip requires excellent aerobic conditioning, balance, and the skills and gear to pack appropriately and carry a fully-loaded daypack with confidence for 10-15 miles and 2,000-4,000 feet of elevation gain per day on sometimes very rugged terrain (including moderately exposed sections, ascents/descents of steep scree slopes, and, depending on snowpack levels, low-risk snowfield crossings). I certify that I will be prepared with the experience, skills, conditioning, and gear to meet the requirements of the trip.

Route I understand that the route will include moderately exposed sections and with ascents/descents of steep scree slopes. I additionally understand that the route may, depending on snowpack levels, include low-risk snowfield crossings.

Adjustments I understand that at any time if the route, weather, or other conditions become dangerous, or one or more participants exhibit signs of dangerous medical conditions such as exhaustion, the group may exit the hike early or find a safer alternate route.

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.

Food I understand that the variety of food available and the ability to meet special dietary preferences may be limited. I understand that while on-trail, I will be responsible for supplying and carrying my own snacks.

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 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.
