In Training for the New Alpinism, Steve House, world-class climber and Patagonia ambassador, and Scott Johnston, coach of U.S. National Champions and World Cup Nordic Skiers, translate training theory into practice to help you coach yourself to any hiking goal. Applying training practices from other endurance sports, House and Johnston demonstrate that following a carefully designed regimen is as effective for alpinism as it’s for every other endurance sport and ends up in better performance. They deliver detailed instruction on methods to plan and execute training tailored for your individual circumstances. Whether you work as a banker or a mountain guide, live within the city or the country, are an ice climber, a mountaineer heading to Denali, or a veteran of 8,000-meter peaks, your working out of how to reach your goals grows exponentially as you work with this book. Chapters cover endurance and strength training theory and methodology, application and planning, nutrition, altitude, mental fitness, and assessing your goals and your strengths. Chapters are augmented with inspiring essays by world-renowned climbers, including Ueli Steck, Mark Twight, Peter Habeler, Voytek Kurtyka, and Will Gadd. Filled with photos, graphs, and illustrations.
