I used to pack elk hunters in Colorado. Lots of Texas hunters would show up every fall and make lots of mistakes that ruined some good horses.
I have never met any graduates of Texas A&M that knew what they were doing in a place like the Rocky Mtns. This group has a few strikes against them, but the guy running it sounds like he has some experience in the big mountains. I wish them all the luck in the world and God Speed because they are going to need it.
