 SCHEDULED EVENTS The majority of my mountaineering trips take place within the United States so if you are interested in joining me, you must possess a valid passport and be able to cross the border. Most (if not all trips) will involve either technical climbing or hiking over great distances, sometimes both and possibly under adverse weather conditions. Furthermore, you are responsible for obtaining your own travel insurance and this is a requirement, not a suggestion. Your insurance MUST cover personal rescue in addition to medical coverage. |
