2. Get Sponsors!
Work with friends, family and co-workers to promote your challenge and secure your $5,000 in minimum sponsorships before the July 1, 2010 deadline. A series of sample letters and fundraising advice is available on this website. Secure your minimum requirements early, set a realistic goal in advance and go for it!

3. Train.
Start on a good foot and seek your physician's approval and the advice of a physical trainer/fitness expert before taking on a serious training program. A sound fitness program addresses cardiovascular fitness (fitness of the heart) and motor fitness (particularly strength, endurance and balance). It is important to understand what your goals are so that you may maximize your training. This is especially important given the time constraints placed on a mountaineer by weather, route conditions, objective hazards, and the effects of altitude. Proper physical conditioning will allow you to perform better by climbing longer, stronger and faster, be more comfortable on steeper and awkward terrain, carry heavier loads, recover quicker at rest, and enjoy the entire adventure more completely. More complete training guidelines are included in your materials.

4. Finish the Challenge and CLIMB!
Our travel and climbing dates are scheduled for late July and early August, so you have plenty of time to train and fundraise. All travel and accommodations will be provided so just focus on your training and fundraising we'll take care of the rest.

A Final Word:
Please clearly understand that mountaineering is inherently a hazardous sport. You are choosing to engage in an activity in which participants have been injured and worse. 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 honestly assess him-/her-self throughout the adventure to ensure as safe a climb as possible. We ask that each participant honestly and accurately describes 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.
