- However, it is hard to understate the level of physical difficulty. On summit day, you will spend hours hiking up steep, ice slopes at an elevations of about 4.000 and 5.000 meters. This means you must be well acclimatized prior to the trip as well as have done the proper physical preparations as well.
- Most guides recommend spending about six months prior to your trip doing weekly regimens of the following exercises:
- Climbing conditioning – this includes carrying 15 kilograms packs on uphill hikes as well as doing stair climbing exercises.
- Strength training – do exercises that strengthen your lower body and core, such as squats and crunches using weights, in the months leading up to your ascent.
- Cardiovascular training – do both aerobic and anaerobic exercises with weights in order to improve your lung capacity and strengthen your heart.
- Flexibility training – stretch before and after each of these types of exercises in order to keep your muscles limber and prevent injury.
