MYTHS ABOUT CLIMB PREPARATION
MYTH 1. I’m in great physical shape — I train in the gym, run marathons, completed Ironman. I don’t need special preparation for mountains
Being physically fit is an advantage — but it does not protect you from the key factor at altitude: hypoxia (lack of oxygen).
At altitude, the body operates under completely different conditions. Even strong and well-trained athletes may face:
- acute altitude sickness
- sudden loss of energy
- impaired heart and brain function
That’s why the key to mountain preparation is adapting your body to low-oxygen conditions.
Our center uses hypoxic training, which teaches your body to function efficiently with reduced oxygen levels — just like at high altitude.
MYTH 2. You need months of preparation and 30–40 days in the mountains for acclimatization
Being physically fit is an advantage — but it does not protect you from the key factor at altitude: hypoxia (lack of oxygen).
At altitude, the body operates under completely different conditions. Even strong and well-trained athletes may face:
- acute altitude sickness
- sudden loss of energy
- impaired heart and brain function

MYTH 3. I was evacuated before — that means mountains are not for me
Being physically fit is an advantage — but it does not protect you from the key factor at altitude: hypoxia (lack of oxygen).
At altitude, the body operates under completely different conditions. Even strong and well-trained athletes may face:
- acute altitude sickness
- sudden loss of energy
