TRAINING...

We put the TRAIN in Training......

So, you ask, how does this work?.....what does a TRAIN have to do with any of this.  Basicly, it'd be nice if you were built like a train before you went on one of our trips, preferably, more powerful than a Locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, look, up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's, it's, it's only you hanging off the side of a cliff. 

TECHNICAL RISK ASSESSMENT & INSTRUCTION

AN EVALUATION OF SKILL and FITNESS to ensure your safety on a team RCI TRIP.  Also, the ability to walk long distances with a pack will be assessed.  It won't be difficult and it's not meant to scare anyone away, it's just that this is a serious climbing and hiking trip and we do not want you to be injured out in the field, being that we are in the middle of nowhere, from lack of proper evaluation and instruction if it was preventable.

BEFORE YOU LEAVE, YOU WILL KNOW BASIC BELAYING TECHNIQUES, KNOTS, AND RECEIVE AN INTRODUCTION TO CLIMBING AT THE LOCAL CLIMBING GYM.   (It's up to you to cover cost of Gym and Gear Rental).  Also, it is encouraged to begin getting in shape as soon as possible, take a hike or walk or run.  Then, try it with a pack.
