How Do You Train To Climb A Mountain?
Training to climb a mountain is not just physical. It is mental too, involving attention to attitude and equipment. In this article I will detail the process of training to climb a mountain. From trying your equipment to what exercise to do, we will cover what you need to make it all the way to the top. The first step in training to climb a mountain is choosing which mountain you will climb. This is important because your workout regimen will differ based upon the magnitude of the mountain. Different exercises would be needed when training to climb Mount Everest than when training to hike the Catskills. If you will be doing any technical climbing, make sure you know your equipment, knots, and techniques. Make a goal for yourself and design a training regimen to fit your mountain. Get in Shape! Start eating well, get enough sleep, drink enough water, and exercise. Climbing a mountain is tough work, and you can’t expect to just get up one day and make it to the top of a substantial peak.
