Alumni panel: What are our guided trips really like?

Last night Katie and I hosted an an alumni panel with Conor, Eric, Kaylor, and Lisa to discuss their experiences on our trips. Conor and Kaylor were first-time clients in 2024; Conor had hiked the Pacific Crest Trail previously, while Kaylor was a never-ever backpacker. Eric and Lisa are multi-time clients (five trips for Eric, four for Lisa) and have been to most of our locations. They answered questions like:

Why did you apply the first time, and why did you keep coming back?What was your biggest concern prior to your first trip?Does the fitness matching really work?Do you still keep in touch with other members of your groups?Among the guides you’ve had, what characteristics do they all seem to share?How did you train?How much time did you spend completing the Planning Curriculum?
