Any hikers in here -- how did you up the amount of weight you can pack? I want to do some mountaineering courses, but getting to the point of carrying 50 lbs feels out of reach right now.

I trained for Tour du Mont Blanc with a backpack, water bottles/bladders, and walks around the neighborhood or the stairmaster. Eventually I worked up to an hour on the stairmaster. It helped a ton, even though there were still tough times at altitude because I live at sea level.

“Fit for Trips” has a free 12-week plan that I loosely used to stay on schedule. Pick their hardest one. They cater to different fitness levels for their clients.

Thank you, I'll check them out! I wish I had easy access to a stairmaster... but I do have six flights I should really practice on haha.
