Best single conditioning for mountaineering is to hike steep outdoor trails with water weight added to your pack. Increasing amounts of water in collapsible plastic jugs can be carried to vary the workout and slowly work up to a 50lb pack. If you train indoors, be sure to work up to training with a heavy pack and boots. Food packing and self-sufficiency are important aspects of wilderness preparedness. This means we melt snow for water and prepare all meals on small liquid fuel stoves.
White gas is provided.
Meals are included on the Denali Prep course, 3-day Mt. Baker summit climb, other summit climbs and all Greenland courses. We recommend All-Around Travel. We may be able to help with carpool arrangements. After we receive your deposit, you will receive detailed follow-up information directly related to these climbs. Deposits are due at time of registration to reserve space on the course.
