All team members endure a rigorous training program both physically and psychology before selection. Each member will be assessed
in the following areas.

Self-belief, focus, endurance, positive attitude, determination,
conviction in the project, passion and the ability to work well as a
team player while being self-reliant as an individual, as well as the necessary snow and ice skills.

The final selection of the traverse teams will be by selection
committee with Pat Falvey having final decisions as leader.
