Breathwork and mindset for the mountains

Most training plans cover miles and vertical. Very few cover what goes on in your head at altitude when you're nauseous, tired, and not sure you want to keep going. This free live session is about that part.

What we'll cover

• Altitude prep you can do at home: controlled breathing and breath holds that get your body and nervous system used to low oxygen and air hunger
• Training that covers more than long slow days: intensity, strength, recovery, and fast technical descents
• Getting comfortable being uncomfortable, physically and mentally
• Fear, control, and trusting your guides and your team
• Why the summit isn't the whole story, and how to get more out of the days in between

We'll finish with live Q&A, so bring your questions.
