Notes & FAQ

• Using the Flexible Booking option is dependent on SMG finding partners for requested courses and dates. This will often be easier to accomplish on weekends and for more popular courses.
• With the above said, there is no obligation and no loss of funds if we can’t meet your Flexible Booking request.
• If you have an existing group, would like to book as a private, want to book sooner than 7 days out, or want to book a more specialized course/trip/guide…please view our full listing of courses and guiding options or contact us.

Examples

Here are a few examples of how Flexible Booking would work.

1. You request Intro to Self Rescue on a Saturday and SMG finds 1 other person looking for the same course/date. The cost would be $250 per person, you’ve already paid the $100 deposit and your final payment would be $150.
2. You’re looking to do a Presi Traverse on a popular holiday weekend in the winter (this would normally cost $1415 as a private). SMG finds two other people looking to do the same. The cost would be $875 per person for the trip, you’ve already paid the $100 deposit and your final payment would be $775.
3. You request Intro to Ice Climbing midweek and SMG can’t find a partner for you. You have the option of a refund, credit towards future booking, or can take the course as a private for $375.
