Uphill Athlete coaches, led by Carolyn Parker, put together 24 free body-weight only strength workouts that are designed to be done at tempo. So your heart rate should be in your zone 1 or 2 throughout. Even for those sheltered-in-place in an urban apartment will be able to maintain most, if not all, of their aerobic conditioning by doing one of these workouts each day, or alternate with a treadmill walk or run and do one of these every second day. The workouts are highly varied to help you fend off boredom. We recommend doing one of them every second…

This already happened, but you can click here to watch on our YouTube channel. The K7 story, in the full telling, is taking three shows to cover. There is more it than one mountain. In full, this is the story of attempting the enchanting and powerful Masherbrum in 2003, discovering (for myself) the Charakusa Valley in a remote corner of the Karakoram Range. Returning to the Charakusa to climb alone, and climbing Hajji Brakk, a solo first-ascent. Then making the first attempts, and discovering the key to the route, on K7 that same season. In this show I tell the…

The process of discovering and climbing K7, in 2003-2004, is my most cherished mountain experience. In this presentation I share the first half of that journey, the 2003 expedition which includes a solo first ascent of Hajji Brakk (circa 6,000m) and three attempts on K7 main (6,942m). The 2004 expedition is covered in the April 9, 2020 Zoom Hangout. This already happened, but you can click here to watch on our YouTube channel.

All of us are feeling the upheaval caused by the current virus threat. Daily were hearing news of race cancellations, mountain closures, and ever-more restricted travel. We’ve received quite a few inquiries from our coached athletes and the Uphill Athlete audience in general about the frustration of having trained for months, or even years, for a big event that has now been cancelled.As athletes who spent much of the time and focus on climbing, we know this situation well. We’ve spent countless years preparing for expeditions, only to not have weather and conditions not allow for an attempt.What are you…
Dear coaches, I’ll give you a rundown of the trip. But first…..You guys have been a Godsend. No one would ever expect some 48-year-old ex semi-truck driver, climbing newbie from the Adirondacks to start from scratch and do so much in less than two years. That’s all because of the fitness program you guys have put together for me. I champion you guys everywhere I go. I’m proud as hell that I have the privilege of training under you guys, so please feel free to use anything you like as a testimonial. You deserve it.We started with one big alpine…
