What do you say to people who have never hiked, camped, or spent much time outdoors? Do you provide any training to them?
Don't sign up for a strenuous trip or get talked into it by your more experienced friend. The biggest reason people never do it again is that they did something way over their head. Start with something easy, even if you're the fittest person on earth, and work your way up. If you can't find a friend to go with you, joining a club would be your next best option. Don't go alone.
We provide periodic workshops. We're in the planning stages of offering a one-day ice-climbing workshop, which is very popular, and this year we plan to offer beginner backpacking, beginner whitewater kayaking, and an outdoors skills weekend where we cover all the basics.
