We trained by breaking down our training for 5 months into phases:
Phase 1: Building Base Fitness Phase 2: Introduce Mountaineering Specific Training Phase 3: Tailor Training
Specifically for the Climb Ahead

Phase 1: Your training should incorporate both cardiovascular fitness and motor fitness training from the start and build your “fitness base” as you get into a routine and your body adjusts to these workouts.
Begin making your workouts more mountaineering specific with hikes and climbs and occasional interval sessions aimed at broadening your range of comfort at various effort levels.
Train on terrain similar in steepness and difficulty to the mountain and with a pack mimicking what you will be carrying.

Phase 2:
Begin making your workouts more mountaineering specific with hikes and climbs and occasional interval sessions aimed at broadening your range of comfort at various effort levels.

Phase 3:
Train on terrain similar in steepness and difficulty to the mountain and with a pack mimicking what you will be carrying.

hat is awesome! I just looked through your Flickr photos and you had great weather. I climbed Rainier a few years back under a full moon and we witnessed the most amazing sunrise, too.

How long did you all train for this, and, how did you train?

We all are so honored that your climb yesterday was in honor of Sarah,15,200 feet! That is awesome. Praying for another good day of climbing . Sarah started back to college last week so she has cleared her summit and her health is restored. The research you are climbing for help get her there!!! Love,Sarah’s mom
