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?
