    American Alpine Institute - Physical Conditioning for Mountaineering and Expeditions

    I have often been asked what sort of conditioning one should do for mountaineering. How much needs to be done and how can I test myself? This article is one of the best I have seen addressing those issues.

      Yeah, I've heard good thinga about Boealps and looked into it myself when I first moved back to Seattle (just as a way of meeting local climbers).

      an ex-girlfriend went though it. It sounded like a lot of hard work... but she was always kind of a whiner... so I don't know how "good/hard" it actually is :-)
