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