Great intro to ALTITUDE
I am getting ready for a trip at altitude soon so this has sent me on the search for information on the effects of altitude. Luckily I have a good friend on search and rescue, who also just happens to be a doctor, recommend a great podcast.
The Uphill Athlete is a podcast with four full segments on altitude from introduction to altitude, nutrition, mental awareness and guiding. A great resource for a relative newbie like myself to the world of altitude climbing. The podcast also has some great info on all types of training from enduro racing to expedition climbing.
The big take away for me from these podcasts is you are always a team on the mountain. It is you and your teammates who all contribute to a successful and safe expedition. To this end, I would like to wish my teammates all the best. I am looking forward to seeing some amazing landscapes along with the inevitable suffering that comes with altitude climbing with these 7 wonderful soles.
