3. List Status

Whoever has done 25% of the SMS List (8 peaks, 3 passes, 3 canyons and 2 tours) is eligible for the basic SMS Emblem. Double the numbers for the Senior SMS Emblem, do 75% of the List for the Master SMS Emblem and do all of the List for the List Finish Emblem. Send your list accomplishments (trips & dates) to the SMS List Committee (Secretary R.J. Secor, e-mail: rjsecor@earthlink.net) and you will be recognized for it here and in the Mugelnoos. The above trips are of course only a fraction of your trips since many trip reports have not yet been supplied to the Archives.
