	Voted 10/10	Good! Sometimes it's best to strike out on your own, and tackle those mountains on your own terms !!!

The only requirement is to show up, go and have fun. Membership lasts a lifetime and has no borders, time limit, gender, race, or age restrictions.

	Voted 10/10	But ... wouldn't that be too much risk-taking? If you never met the person, how would you know if you could get along with them on a reasonable level? ?? I mean, I'd hate to be stuck with a partner who had a "magic glint" in their eye every time I turned my back on them. That would give me the "heebie-jeebies!"

	Hasn't voted	Maybe we're old school but I can't recall any of us ever being in a situation like that. That sounds like the stuff you hear about on the canned Everest expditions. In over 40 years we've never had an ice axe fight or anything like that break out while on a climb. We did use our axes to scare a bear away but that's another story (and it didn't work). We most often go ropeless and you'd be surprised how well we get along when there are no strings attached...
