A team of about 11 staff, including six named professionals such as program director Jenn Hrinkevich and program safety coordinator Ted Alexander, delivers all programs under the leadership of UIAGM-certified mountain guides (Micher Quito, Carlos Pineda, Alessandro Fracchetti) and multilingual trekking guides (Gladys Jimenez).

Trekking programs are priced $2,185-$2,950 per person, race entry fees are $300-$375, and topographic maps start at $15. Customer segments span individual adventure tourists and trekkers, aspiring mountaineers, university and school outdoor programs (notably a continuous relationship with the University of Montana Outdoor Programs since 2010), and adventure racing participants.
