Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see any reference to camping or food. I know the Poko campground is closed, so is any camping included as part of the Rendezvous or would we all be on our own? Same with food? |

This sounds suspect |

Lisa, Thanks for your input. We want change that. Sorry that it was represented to you that way. What exactly about this sounds " suspect? " If you have the time please send a PM to colinloher72@gmail.com. To be transparent, yes, this is our first go at this. Over the past month, I have been working around the clock on this. It's been a labor of love. To that end, I have worked with numerous people from local climbers, musicans, and farmers to NYDEC foresters. All of the clinics are being run by NYS and AMGA certified guides from High Peaks Mountain Adventures out of Lake Placid. We are an well, established business that has been at it for over thirty years. A TRP has been secured and Insurance cleared for this event.

If you say AMGA Certified Guides, you need to qualify what level of training and certification you have, otherwise the public continues to get duped. |
