Significant rock climbing or high-grade solo scrambling experience is a compulsory requirement for entry. No payment is taken at the pre-selection stage; successful applicants are invited to complete payment to confirm their place.

The event provides a professional safety officer, a mountain-qualified safety team, GPS tracking and timing, and optional extras available through the entry system such as a cotton race tee, branded goat-bells, and post-race massage.
