Where do I start training for the 7 summits if I am fit but not a mountaineer?
How do you train for the 7 summits?
Training for the 7 summits means building three things in order: an aerobic base that lets you walk uphill for eight to twelve hours a day for weeks; the strength to do it with a 20 kg pack; and the mountaineering skills, from crampons and self-arrest to glacier travel, that Elbrus, Denali, Vinson and Everest demand. Each guide has its own training chapter, such as Training for Vinson and Training for Everest.
