FAQ1. How fit do I need to be to partcipate?

To get the most out of your trip you need to be in the right shape for it. There is no fun in barely surviving the program just to tag the summit. We suggest 8-hour hikes (including hills are more beneficial) with a 30lb pack at least once a week to gain some endurance.

FAQ 3. What is NOT included in the trip cost?
