***********************************************************************************
The objective of the High Altitude Mountaineering Section trip report is to
provide information for fellow
climbers who might go where you have already
been. Obviously this information can be very helpful. The
best thing to
keep in mind when filling out this form, is what would you have liked to have
known prior to
your trip. Please feel free to attach additional material
such as itinerary, menu selection, and equipment lists.
Also, once
completed, please give this report to the current HAMS Chairman.
Thank you--The HAMS Research Committee.
