All participants and leaders are REQUIRED to sign the State of Colorado's liability waiver. Please click here to fill out the waiver.

Trip leaders will upload their route details so participants know what to expect on August 1st. This includes the trail name, estimated start-to-finish time/duration of trip, required skill and fitness level, and a general description of what to expect on the trail, such as terrain, exposure, scrambling, and any route-specific gear recommendations or known hazards. (Feel free to use information from 14er.com). The more detail provided, the better prepared your group will be. Share this "So you want to hike a 14er?" blog with participants as well. 

Trip leaders- Do not delete: Participants can register for their preferred 14er through the Colorado Mountain Club website, where they will be placed on a waitlist for their chosen peak. From there, trip leaders will reach out to gather more information about each participant's experience level and interests. For trips where the waitlist exceeds the allotted group size, participants will be selected by lottery.
