All levels

This plan is a tailored version of our 24 week plan written specifically for Denali. It takes into account the training required to be ready for some of the specific demands of Denali including pack weight, sled dragging, fixed line ascension and the general physical nature of Alaskan expedition climbing at altitude.

Equipment requirements:

  • Heart rate monitor
  • Backpack
  • Basic gym plus a treadmill/incline trainer, stair machine or stairs in a tall building if you do not have access to steep hills or mountains.

Because you own this plan forever and can re-apply it as many times as you like, you will also receive any future updates when we next revise it. The authors of the most popular plans for sale at Uphill Athlete have left to join Evoke Endurance.
