In "Training for the New Alpinism," world-class climber and Patagonia ambassador Steve House and Scott Johnston, coach to US national champions and World Cup Nordic skiers, translate training theory into practice to help you coach yourself toward any climbing goal. By applying training practices from other endurance sports, House and Johnston demonstrate that following a carefully designed regimen for alpinism is just as effective as it is for any other endurance sport, leading to improved performance. They provide detailed guidance on how to plan and execute training tailored to your individual circumstances. Whether you work as a banker or a mountain guide, live in the city or the countryside, are an ice climber, a mountaineer heading to Denali, or a veteran of 8,000-meter peaks, your understanding of how to achieve your goals will grow exponentially as you engage with this book.
