  • Two days preparing for high altitude trek. To do this we go on a two day expedition with overnight camp in North Wales.

    We’ll begin the course by looking in depth at attitude to understand how it impacts the body and what we can do to reduce symptoms, stay safe and have the best chance of success.. Included in the morning is a talk on other aspects of staying healthy at altitude which is equally as important.

    After some time to organise kit and discuss out route, we’ll trek to a suitable, mostly likely, wild camp spot for the night. Over the journey and the evening we will be able to chat about the trips you are going on, including cultural considerations and training and physical preparation.

    In camp we will demonstrate how to organise you tent and camp comfortably.

    To simulate a summit day we will wake up pre-dawn and walk to a summit for sunrise.

    On the walk out they’ll be a chance to ask any more questions about your trip. We’ll return by lunchtime and finish the course by heading to an independent outdoor shop to discuss kit and equipment so that you know what is best to buy for your trip.
