Steve, could the group ease onto the trail over a period of a couple of days (like we did) (in case there is an overload on the permits) but all have the same exit day, so that while group one is acclimatizing on the trail, another group could be at HSM waiting to enter the next day? They could arrange to all meet at a place on the trail and then start their event? I am just thinking that it might be difficult to win 14 spots on the same day.
