Haute Route 2011

Here is another video to get you psyched for the upcoming alpine adventure. This summer is the time to build the training base, secure family "buy-in," and start to review your ski mountaineering gear needs. In terms of training the critical elements are general aerobic endurance and leg strength to handle the 20,000' of vertical climbing. On a related note, after graduation I talked with one of our families that resides in Switzerland, and we shall be welcomed with meals and showers.
