Hi,

several years ago I bought an “Eiger training plan” from UA and was thinking of using it again for Walker spur in the summer. I don’t know if Scott participated in the creation of this plan. What are your thoughts on application of this plan to Walker spur? Or would you suggest some other training plan from your arsenal that would be more suitable for such an objective?

Many thanks for  your insights.

Best, Pete

Hi Pete,

Thanks for writing in.

That plan is pretty good for something like the Walker. You could replace the ‘additional ice climbing’ exercises with a basic fingerboard repeaters (7sec work/ 3sec rest) workout you can find anywhere on the internet and have something a bit more specific to the Walker. Before you go, I’d suggest doing a few very big climbing days with a lot of fast climbing and transitions, gear testing, etc. Perhaps this can also be in the Alps.

Be safe and let  us know how it goes!

Hi Seth,

thanks for your thoughts. I was thinking the same – to replace ice tool hand with something more specific and to do lots of climbing in the mountains in late spring/beginning of summer.

Will let you know how this turns out.

Thanks again!

Best, Pete
