>>1590945>weight training is not backpacking & hiking training. >your overestimating yourself like a massive retardyou can be the strongest lifter in the world an never be able to hike/backpack like a experienced elderly man
>you use completely different muscle groups & require immense stamina through cardio style exercise & muscle endurance to even begin to be prepared for a mountain climb like that. trust me your not prepared in the least sense of the word
It takes months of training just to prepare your muscles & instinctive mentality for long distance treks much less the professional death trap that is mt.everest
>basicsdo you know your calorie needs for a fulls day's excursion?
have you actually ever hiked with all your survival gear on your back daily before?
have you actually trained with a weighted pack daily in extremely steep terrain before?
how much water do you drink daily in a week long trek?
what is your average distance on flat, steep, & alternating terrain for a day?
do you know the best type of calorie intake for a hiker?
have you climbed other tall mountains before?
>advancedwhat is the weight of all your gear & supplies in the pack? are you easily comfortable with over this pack weight?
have you ever done an actual long distance trek before?
did you prepare everything you needed for said trek yourself?
have you done endurance & respiratory training with gear in tow?
previous experience?
what is your emergency survival knowledge & training?
have you experienced harsh environmental/survival issues before (common on everest & highly lethal)?
if you can't answer all of these questions in detail your not ready in the slightest for a mountaineering trek much less fucking icey death trap incorporated
