Rainier Mountaineering, Inc. reserves the right to modify the land cost of a trip at any time before departure. Risk Management: RMI guides draw from their wealth of experience and training to make sound decisions regarding your safety. Managing risk is RMI’s number one priority. Our guides manage significant hazards inherent in mountaineering and trekking such as avalanches, ice fall, rock fall, inclement weather, and high altitude, but they cannot eliminate them. The maxim of safety dictates all of our decisions while on the mountain. As experienced mountaineers the guides will make the final decision(s), but we encourage you to communicate with the guides, ask questions and learn from their extensive experiences. Additionally, Rainier Mountaineering, Inc. cannot guarantee that you will reach Everest Base Camp. Weather, route conditions, your own abilities, or the abilities of other trekkers may create circumstances that make an ascent unsafe, and you or your entire party may have to turn around without reaching the goal of Everest Base Camp. Failure to reach Everest Base Camp due to a person’s own lack of fitness or to any of the events associated with trekking and mountaineering (such as weather, route, avalanche hazard, illness, team dynamics, etc.), are not Rainier Mountaineering, Inc.’s responsibility and will not result in refund or reschedule. Please clearly understand that adventure travel and trekking have some inherent hazards. You are choosing to engage in an activity in which participants have been injured and killed. While those accidents are indeed infrequent, they may occur at any time and be out of our control. We ask that participants acknowledge that risk, and make their own choices about whether or not to engage in this activity. We ask that each participant is physically and mentally fit, is properly attired and equipped, and continues to self-assess throughout the adventure to ensure as safe a trek as possible. We ask that participants honestly and accurately describe themselves, in terms of fitness, health and skills, and their equipment to their guides, and that they adhere to the advice of their professional mountain guide. Trekker’s Responsibilities: RMI has a goal of achieving the highest possible success rate while maintaining a significant margin of safety on each program. We recognize that trekking and mountaineering are individual challenges as well as a team endeavors. This puts responsibility on individual participants. If a trekker’s own physical fitness limits his or her ability to safely continue upward, that can negatively impact the experience or opportunity of other trek participants. For this reason, when signing up for a program, we strongly encourage you to honestly evaluate your fitness. This will allow RMI to suggest the best program for you, and will allow the greatest opportunity of a safe, successful adventure for all participants. General Policies:
All participants must be 18 years or older at the time the expedition
begins. |
