After three years of dedicated Uphill Athlete training and COVID in the rearview, I was finally ready to take on a big expedition objective I first set sights on at the end of 2020 before Argentina had closed for the pandemic. In February 2020, I left behind running, bodybuilding, and powerlifting. I focused solely on the peaks I wanted to summit. I began working with Uphill Athlete’s training for mountaineering principles.
