12-Week Mountaineering Training Plan


Developed by Scott Johnston, co-author of Training for the New Alpinism and co-founder of Uphill Athlete along with the coaches at Evoke Endurance, this is the best mountaineering training plan on the market today! Once you buy it, you own this plan forever. Why not buy the latest and best version?

This training plan is written by the same coaches who developed the original and the updated versions of the 24-Week Expeditionary Mountaineering Plan sold by Uphill Athlete. However, this new plan incorporates our latest thinking, gleaned from having worked with hundreds of mountaineers as they prepared for their own major climbs. It contains new and detailed notes to help you maximize results no matter what your situation is.

This plan is suitable and recommended for anyone with a mountaineering goal lasting more than a couple of days. It is a chopped down version of the 24-week plan. It is NOT a get-fit-quicker plan. It is meant for mountaineers who find themselves with only 12 weeks to train before their climb. If you have the available time window between now and your climb to fit in 24 weeks of training, you will get much better results using that plan than either of its sister plans (the 16- and 12-week plans). The first axiom of training is: There is no such thing as being too fit. This plan can be shortened and lengthened to suit different time frames. You can always arrange a phone consultation to help you customize any of our plans to suit your particular situation.
