Learn to avoid common mistakes in the mountains: preparation advice on
hiking, backpacking and summiting your first, or even your tenth, big
mountain!
Experienced trekkers know that preparation
is half the battle in reaching the summit. You have to be fit to succeed
in the mountains, however, many trekkers fail to reach their full
potential in the mountains because they focus their prep on improving
just their physical strength. After years of trekking and summiting some
of the world's most challenging mountains, author Mark Santino realized
there are actually seven interconnected strengths that, taken together,
equip mountain hikers with the tools they need to prepare for the
challenges the mountain throws at them.
The Seven Strengths of Summiting is a
must-read if you're a trekker looking to up your game in the mountains -
especially if you're new to hiking at altitude. This guide book (1)
provides guidance into how to prepare for your first big hike or climb,
(2) shares lessons learned so the reader is able to accelerate their
learning curve, and (3) imparts insights to get the most out of your
time in the mountains, including what Mark would share with his younger
self just starting out.
Included are Mark's logs from three of his
many treks: Mount Whitney (California; 14,505 feet); Mount Everest Base
Camp (Nepal; 17,598 feet); and Mount Kilimanjaro (Tanzania; 19,341
feet). Each of the Seven Strengths is on full display throughout the
logs, which offer an intimate glimpse into the triumphant highs and
soul-crushing lows that are an inevitable part of the journey to these
magnificent summits. Also included is a very detailed gear checklist
from one of Mark's multi-day treks over 10,000 feet.
