    which ones? there should be dropdown menus below expeditions and climbing, I suppose i have to add links to the buttons themselves as well.

    Nice site. Fun trips.

    The drop down menus don't show up properly in Mozilla when you are in the map screen (they get truncated so only the first entry shows up)

    I noticed, but I'm not sure how to fix it quite yet, so let's just pretend it works.

    I get the drop downs on Expeditions.
    When I go for Euro Alps, it disappears.

    In safari the drop down menus are hard to get to. Because of the gaps between the menu and the button that triggers it, the menu disappears as I move the mouse-arrow from the button towards the list. Demands quick reflexes it does.

    Also: HIRE A FUCKING EDITOR OR COPY EDITOR!! I went to the page "about SEI" and wandered into a land of poor sentence structure and 3rd grade grammar mistakes. Seeing this shit on a forum is fine, folks are busy avoiding work and cannot be asked to bother with the finer points of writing, but on a professional website it is unacceptable. Were I a potential client I would have written you guys off right then and there. I do not expect good spelling from my guide, but I expect that they should have the foresight to make sure that whomever writes the copy for the website can spell.

    (Also, on this particular page you leave out lots of details like:
    - What is you client to guide ratio? We know it is low, but what is it exactly?
    - Who are your guides? Names, experience, training, etc, etc...)

    Examples for grammar (spot the errors folks!):

    ... Just because a guide service claims high summit success does not mean there good, in fact asked another way should be, "what is your reason for large groups, "your money maybe"?...

    Thanks for the tip about the dissapearing menu, its not a problem on my ie explorer or firefox but i think for some reason its causing a problem on a few others, hopefully a quick tweek will do the trick.

    There is a guides page, its just not up yet I need to convert it from the old page, almost all of the guides are amga certified in their respective disciplines.

    The copy does have problems, its not mine, but I've been too lax on getting it revised. Hopefully that will be trimmed up within the next few weeks, trips are currenttlly out.
