For mountaineering the stair machine will be MUCH more effective than a 15% inclined treadmill. It will do a fantastic job of building the fitness for going up mountains. How many mountains that you aim to climb have slopes of 15%? It is a pretty guess to say “zero”. Whereas the stair machine angle is in the range of 756-100% depending on the machine. But the escalator type like the Stairmaster brand are brutal taskmasters and we have seen folks like yourself who are “terrain challenged” do all their vertical on these machines and are able to develop their fitness to climb the biggest mountains. Just have some entertainment ?.
