Trips and Meets are hosted by & on behalf of current members of the CW Section of the New Zealand Alpine Club. You need to be a current member of the NZAC to participate. Participants will need to be totally self-sufficient in the environment and have the skills, experience and judgement to undertake alpine and related mountaineering activities consistent with the level of experience required, independently and safely.  Safety is the responsibility of each individual member.  These are not guided trips and meets, nor do they involve any instructional training or tuition of any kind being given to members. Members are expected to stay as a group throughout the trip and to work as a team. Please ensure you have read the CW Trips Guidelines before signing up and attending a trip or the CW Meets Guidelines.
