VITAL Team Manifesto

Our Pact. Our Power. Our Path Forward.

We’re more than a team preparing for a hike — we’re a crew committed to personal growth, collective strength, and a deep respect for the wild places we get to explore. This is the spirit we carry with us:

Commitment to Personal Health & Fitness
We train with purpose — not just to complete the journey, but to fully experience it. We honor our potential through focused effort, grit, and care.

Ownership & Accountability
We take full responsibility for our wellbeing, our preparation, and our presence — and for showing up for one another. We never leave anyone behind or alone. We are in this together, and we move as a team.

Audacious Growth
We lean into the stretch. We welcome challenge and choose courage over comfort. Growth is the goal — and we support each other every step of the way.

Solution-Oriented Approach
We meet the unknown with creativity and determination. We don’t dwell — we explore, adjust, and move forward with curiosity and heart.

Bigger, Not Smaller
We lift one another up. We celebrate wins big and small. We speak with generosity, move with humility, and create a culture where everyone feels seen and strong.

Respect & Responsibility
We show reverence for the land, the locals, and each other. We tread lightly, act mindfully, and leave every place — and person — better than we found them.

This is who we are. This is how we show up. Let’s make it unforgettable.
