What are the Height and Weight Requirements?
The following table shows the recommended weights for each height, as well as the maximum weight for that height.
NLHA strongly recommends that each participant not exceed the maximum weight on the table for their height. NLHA requires that you fall below the maximum (295 pounds) allowed weight for participation. Additionally, NLHA strongly recommends that no participant weigh less than 100 pounds. Smaller participants will have a very difficult time due to the strenuous nature of the trek and the heavy weight of items to portage.
