We restrict the number of journeys per season. This is not artificial scarcity. It's operational necessity.
Our senior guides remain involved in every expedition. We don't scale by hiring less experienced staff and calling it "training opportunities." Quality requires the people who built this company to stay engaged with the work.
Lodge relationships matter. When we book accommodations, properties prioritize our requests because we don't flood them with volume, cancel frequently, or negotiate aggressively. Consistency builds access.
Porter welfare standards require monitoring. Fair wages, weight limits, proper gear—these aren't automated. Someone checks. That someone has limited bandwidth.
Limited volume means responsibility, not exclusivity.
We could accept more clients. We choose not to. Consistency matters more than growth.
