Climb for the Kids (BAWT)
Oct 26th 2007zermattUncategorized
If anyone’s interested in doing some really cool climbs in ‘08, check out this site, climbforthekids.org. You have to raise a bit of money (varying on which peak you choose), but you get a lot of free gear, and its for a good cause.
I’ve signed up for the Teton Leg.

training for high alititude exploration

Granted, the Matterhorn is only at 14K ft, but it’s still a challenge, mentally and physically. I have based my training on what tri-athletes do.
You obviously have to ease yourself into the rigorous training system buy utilizing some sort of step program. I started with swimming, and now I am up to 5K meters a week. As soon as I make the move to 20K meters a week (which will be in about 2 months), I will cut the amount of days that it takes me to achieve 20K meters or so in half, and then add a cycling regime, and then obviously a running program. The intensity of this workout is very personal as I am wanting to establish a foundation for future ascents, triathlons, etc.
All in all, you need to be in very good shape before you plan on adding extra policy’s to your life insurance.
