This trip is great for all levels and designed for people who have a desire to climb and learn technical skills.  

Healthy participants will have fun on this trip.

 Wear layers so that you can shed them if you are hot and bundle up if you are cold.  Bringing rain gear, a medium sized backpack, and any required medications is necessary.  Light hiking shoes are great for the climbing day but tennis shoes will suffice.  Climbing shoes are a must.  If you don’t have any we rent them for $10.

Gratuity: The outdoor industry depends on gratuity to ensure quality in the field.  Your guide goes to incredible lengths to keep you safe .   A tip of  ten to twenty dollars per person per day is recommended for excellent service.

Cancellation Policy: There is a 50% refund available for trips canceled more than 2 weeks in advanced. All trips are non-refundable within 2 weeks of the trip date.  In the case of inclement weather prior to the trip start you will be credited the amount paid for future use with Apex Ex valid for up to 1 year from the scheduled trip date.

Responsibility: In the case that a member of the party becomes sick or injured it is the responsibility of the group to abandon the summit attempt and assist in rescue.  Additionally, if for any reason the guide determines the group is in unreasonable danger, it is the responsibility of the climbing members to stay with the guide.  These situations are part of mountaineering and are non-refundable.
