- Accommodation Information
- We will be staying in an Airbnb 40 minutes outside of Lisbon, the capital of Portugal. This Airbnb is close to a number of crags with driving time ranging from 20-40 minutes. The Airbnb can accommodate up to 10 people
- Driving or Travel Details
- While in Portugal the two trip leaders will be driving two rental cars. Participants are responsible for their own flight to Lisbon Airport. Participants are expected to land around the same time as the group on the same day in Lisbon. Participants can choose to land at different times but will be expected to either wait for the main group to arrive or arrange their own transit to the Airbnb if they are arriving after the group
- Food and Equipment Information
- Food will be entirely up to each participant. The group as a whole will go to a local grocery often. People can group together to cook meals, go to local restaurants, buy their own food etc. If you have dietary restrictions it will be up to the participant to accommodate those. The trip leader will make extra effort to accommodate any restrictions as well. Hoofer Mountaineering will provide all the ropes, quick draws, anchor setting materials, and stick clips
- Trip Cancellation, Reschedule, and Refund Information
- In the event that the trip is cancelled due to some unforeseen circumstances (such as a global pandemic) every effort will be made to refund the participants. No guarantee can be given due to the nature of booking stays, rental cars, and other travel expenses in the future. If a participant would like to drop out of the trip and have someone else take their spot, HMC can accommodate. If the dropout happens within 90 days of the trip start date (Dec 27th) the participant is not entitled to a refund on the amount paid into HMC. If the participant drops out farther than 90 days out from the event they can receive a full refund
