Intermediate Alpinism with Steve House

Intermediate

8 weeks

Heart Rate (HR) based

Exacting preparation for demanding alpine climbing objectives.

“I wrote this program with myself and several friends in mind. The typical goal for this plan is a long summer alpine rock route in the Mont Blanc Massif, Bugaboos, North Cascades, or Sierra. In each of these places long approaches are commonly followed by demanding rock climbs. This would also be an excellent plan for a climber bound for Argentine Patagonia.”

To follow this training plan you will need access to a climbing gym, a hangboard, a weight gym, and you must have the ability to train via a weight-bearing modality such as hiking or running (indoors or out). The program assumes you have one day per week to climb outside.

This plan is designed for the already fit and functional climber who wants to achieve peak fitness for a specific alpine rock climbing objective.
