In respect to team, we created the following classifications per our group standards.
Tier 1 - These hikes are are usually sub 5 miles and take 4-6 to complete. We consider these training hikes in case members want to put a bit of weight in thier packs for future climbs. These are perfect for new faces and we welcome all.
Tier 2 - These hikes / climbs can range from 5 to 12 miles (San J summit from tram for instance), and usually take 8-9 hours to complete with some elevation gain. We request when signing up for these events and new to the group or have not attended a Tier 2 prior, send the organizer quick message with your recent experience of hikes at this level.
Tier 3 - These climbs is anything above the first two. The distance and intense elevation gain is the big killer for most. 12 -24 miles and usually take 10-14 hours to complete. As above if new to the group or have not attended a Tier 3, send the organizer quick message with your recent experience of climbs at this level.
