From a client’s perspective, I’ve done the 24 week plan twice before as preparation for Elbrus and Spantik and found it great. BUT it was much ‘easier’ (being a relative term) than the Advanced levels of this Training Group.
@mark – just tried to rig my pack like this and there is no gap to pass the webbing through between the hip belt and the pack as in the video – its all one integral unit. I’m thinking I’ll just pass the webbing around the pack so it sits between my lower back and the pack but isn’t held in place between the hip belt and pack as per the video. As its flat I can’t see it rubbing.
Hi Steve – just paid the fees for the next 12 weeks and completed the forms. ON the call you mentioned 3 levels but I could only see 2 on the self assessment form. Chose Advanced as that’s what I’m on now – presume the ‘switch over’ is pretty automated from our point of view if not yours! Cant wait for the ME Water Carries!
Agreed – slow done and let others overtake you. My ego was severely bruised as I started my journey with UA and everyone started overtaking me. On the plus side my wife now loves hiking with me as I’ve slowed down and we can have a conversation while we hike 🙂
