Terms & Conditions

 

 

So Many Lawyers ... So Little Time

 

 

We're uncertain when it happened, exactly, but it did. Here in America we have become quite the litigious little society, haven't we? While we don't  harbor a particular disdain for the legal profession or any of the Devil's spawn, the unfortunate reality of it is that we find ourselves devoting more and more time to preemptively covering our corporate asses at every turn.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and heap the blame squarely upon the scaly, reptilian shoulders of the lawyers.

See, we know you can handle the ups and downs of international travel, expedition mountaineering, and dealing with fellow climbers. You’re no prissy mama’s-boy (or mama’s-girl, as the case may be). But there’s a saying in this crazy guiding business that there’s a whiner in every bunch. Okay, so maybe it’s something everyone says, but  just as sure as you'll see mullets at a trucker convention, there’s always that one person who gets his (or her) panties in a big, fat knot because there’s a pebble in his boot, or a scary bug in his tent, or maybe because he's got a touch of that 24-hour projectile leprosy that's been going around. Yeah, imagine that - in a third-world country!

Anyway, think of our Terms & Conditions as a legally binding I-told-you-so to protect you against some knucklehead ruining your trip. There’s no such thing as too much CYA, you know. We've got your back, homes.

Certain expeditions may require specific Terms & Conditions that supersede those outlined herein, blah, blah, blah. Click on the links below to view our Terms & Conditions. For expeditions to Mexico or South America, go to "The Americas." For expeditions to Nepal or Tibet, go to "Asia."

But you already knew that. You're so smart!
