>>1654188As per 'how in shape do you have to be' I would say medium in shape. I go to the gym and do cardio stuff about 4 times a week Ramping up for this i trip i went on some longer hikes but nothing special. For most people its more about the mental 'this is all very cold, barebones and uncomfortable' aspect i think. The 1 person in our group that didnt make it to the basecamp was a very fit Canadian women who just didn't want to go on basically.
