The semebership standards are nowhere near as rigorous as rumor, gossip, hearsay, and speculation have made them out to be. In essence, the Board of Directors expects that every candidate knave how to rope up, belay, rappel, set anchors, and has experience in snow travel. All experienced mountaineers are encouraged to apply.
