Review # 2 was written on 2015-12-17 00:00:00 Adam Sant Excellent primer on mindset, training, nutrition and the factors that lead to successfully surviving alpinist journeys. I definitely know a lot more about it all than I did before, and can prepare more appropriately. He recommends 5 strength training exercises : For power, focus on lat pulls, standing finger curls, bent-over dumbbell rows, leg presses, and, occasionally, standing calf raises. Though he says climbing is best training otherwise. He also talks extensively about clothing and gear. One thing I found surprising was that protein bars are not recommended, instead glucose gels and plenty of water, and possibly some oil for long outings. He recommends 5-6 litres of water per day, which includes possibly frequent stops to melt water but they are worth it since having enough hydration drastically improves performance. A 3% dehydration of muscles leads to a 10% performance decline ! A lot of things he cited from his recommended reading list, which is extensive.
