Greetings Jerry,

Probably not, but in the packet that Philmont will send you is a phyical form
(similar to a Class III with more information regarding risks - I think a copy
is at Seldon's web site). In light of your specific circumstances, I would
review the information with my doctor and tell him quite pointedly that you will
be involved in activities at an altitude of 6,800 feet in a setting that is
somewhat remote from an extensive cardiac care facility and get his feedback.
What is that saying? Oh yeah, "Be Prepared"
Happy Trails,
Roy Fisher
