I have received the following e-mail from Eric Anicich of Columbia University, who is asking for responses to an online questionnaire on mountaineering expeditions.  He can be contacted at eanicich16@gsb.columbia.edu

Dear Eagle Ski Club,

I am part of a research team at Columbia University and INSEAD that is
studying mountaineering processes and outcomes and we would like to invite
you to complete a short online survey to help with our research.

We would very much appreciate it if you would take a few minutes to help with
this important research by completing this survey:

Additionally, we welcome your help in distributing the survey link to other
experienced climbers. We rely on the help of generous and experienced
climbers to conduct this research.

The first page of the survey has several open-ended questions followed by
multiple choice questions on the subsequent pages related to climbing
processes and outcomes.

In appreciation of your support, we are happy to provide you with a summary
of our research findings at the conclusion of this project.

This research is being conducted in collaboration with Adam Galinsky
(Professor at Columbia University) and Roderick Swaab (Professor at INSEAD).
If you have any questions, please reply to this email and I will answer your
questions as quickly as possible.

We greatly appreciate your willingness to help advance our understanding of
mountaineering processes.

Sincerely,
Eric Anicich
