Participants will need to be totally self-sufficient in the environment and have the skills, experience and judgement to undertake alpine and related mountaineering activities consistent with the level of experience required for this trip, independently and safely.

Depending on forecast and actual conditions, we may call off the trip, change the plan, or change the requirements of the trip. This is solely at the discretion of the Trip Leader and a call will be made on the Thursday before and you will be contacted via email or text to confirm.
