Hi Seth,

Apologies for taking so long to get back to you! Thanks for the advice, I’ve been implementing the 1-2 week mini-block idea and so far I’ve had good results. There’s definitely scope for an full article about this subject! For the simulation workouts, I interpret that as long multi pitch routes with a heavy pack and alpine boots (I don’t have access to snow and ice in my country so next best thing). I also don’t have easy access to granite; my local crags where I climb midweek are limestone. However I can mitigate this somewhat by getting onto granite in the weekends leading up to the trip.
