Trip Grades

Trip grades are essential for understanding the difficulty level of various outdoor adventures, particularly in trekking, climbing, and other expedition activities. They typically categorize trips into five main levels:

  1. Easy: Suitable for beginners, these trips involve minimal physical exertion and are often on well-maintained paths.
  2. Easy to Moderate: These trips may include some elevation changes and require a bit more stamina but are still accessible to most people.
  3. Moderate: Expect more challenging terrain and longer distances, making these trips ideal for those with some experience.
  4. Strenuous: These adventures demand a high level of fitness and often involve steep ascents or difficult conditions.
  5. Challenging: Reserved for seasoned adventurers, these trips require advanced skills and physical endurance, often in remote or rugged environments.
