Medical |
|
|
This
trip is a rigorous mountain climbing expedition. By its very nature
it is physically demanding and involves travel to many areas where
medical facilities are virtually nonexistent. IMCS will furnish a
well-supplied first aid kit and our guides are certified in first
aid, CPR and have taken courses specific to wilderness medicine. IMCS
assumes no liability regarding provision of medical care. You are
urged to check your insurance coverage to be sure it is adequate. |
|
|
Once on the trip, IMCS reserves the right to remove
any person from the trip, who, at the sole discretion of the guides,
is judged to be a safety risk to themselves or others. This includes
those persons who are not acclimating adequately, are not strong enough
or skilled enough to safely climb. In this case, there will be no
refunds. |
