Qualifications

The outdoor industry is unregulated — in most of the world's mountains, nobody is required to hold a qualification to run a trip at all. Plenty of companies operate that way. We don't. Everyone we put in front of you has studied for it, been examined on it, and keeps it current — working these mountains full-time, year after year, on the same local contacts and fixed lines we've built relationships with over time. When it matters, that's the difference.
