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.

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.
