    Rock climb + mountaineering I guess. If you're stuck in a gym, crimp-grip pullups and doing the stairmaster for hours with a heavy backpack

      dude frickin' poles. Come from a flat-ass fricking country and just slay peaks. Love it.

      Climbing mountains is actually extremely easy but the only people that can afford to travel to them are feeble rich weaklings with entitlement and extreme boredom.

      impoverished malnourished locals are paid pennies to be pack animals and climb the Andes and Himalayas while carrying all the supplies the stupid spoiled brats brought. Plus drag the brats up the mountain. Without oxygen tanks.

      Meanwhile the rich losers can’t even carry a candy bar without huffing their oxygen as they walk up a rope path that was premade for them. And then barely tip their guides after

      “Professional mountain climber” isn’t a real job

      You don’t get paid to climb mountains and you don’t get benefits or health care.

      A normal person cannot “go become a mountain climber”. A normal person cannot even afford a plane ticket to Nepal, much less the gear, training facilities, helicopter transport, etc.

      The people that are “mountain climbers” are all rich trust fund brats with feeble bodies. I’m assuming the ones that climb K2 are at the highest level of their physical potential.

      Imagine is an actual athletic person climbed a mountain like that (oh wait, even the malnourished locals do it without oxygen)

      Based as frick. "Mountain Climbing" like most of these tech-millionaires do is weak as shit. Paying some peasant to ruck your shit everywhere while you stroll up a set route isn't impressive.

      Alpinist-style mountain climbing is impressive as frick. Just kinda strolling up 8000 meter peaks in a day is a way bigger deal.

      See Ueli Steck. Dude was a menace before he an heroed off Everest. He was so fricking good at it that he fell into a depression since he couldn't top his own impressive climbs.

      I thought a team of Polish dudes did that a few years ago?

      I don't believe so... But there's so many little sub-records in climbing; first without O2, first without ropes, first in winter... Who knows what the poles did. IIRC at least some of the guys in that all-sherpa team also did all 14 8,000m peaks in one season. Insane. Never been done before. Big deal.

      when I was fat and tried mountain climbing it was horrible, but got slim and it became wonderful
      the slimmer and fitter you are the better for mountaineering

      Solid advice. Long uphill hikes with weight on your back are easier when you're lighter. Cardio cardio cardio, especially if you normally reside at low elevation.

      I have been climbing peaks in the alps and alaska/cascades/rockies forever. Its easy recreation, and the gear for higher altitude costs a lot of money + the transportation, even if you bring your tent. Its just an expensive hobby.
      You can't compare it to regular IST activites like lifting, rooning and actual climbing.

      It's mostly an up-front cost though. Yeah the big gear items are pricy, but you don't replace them every year unless you're just a gear-queer. I'd say for most peaks in the lower 48, you're looking at a <1,000 entry fee, MAYBE $200/year in replacing things. Food and transportation varies obviously. That's not bad for such a great hobby, especially when compared to some other.

      T. slay 14ers and climb big rocks. Favorite thing to do.

      Nah, K2 is actually hard and rarely attempted by non-professionals. You're thinking of Everest and Denali.

          The professionals are the sherpas that are funded by rich trust fund brats. They also get employment with governments for prestige projects and training special forces in mountaineering. Picrel the first summit of K2 in the winter was accomplished recently by an all-nepalese team.

            Nirmal Purja (known as Nims or Nimsdai[13]) MBE (Nepali: निर्मल पुर्जा; born 25 July 1983[1]) is a Nepal-born naturalised British[5] mountaineer and a holder of multiple mountaineering world records. Prior to taking on a career in mountaineering, he served in the British Army with the Brigade of Gurkhas followed by the Special Boat Service (SBS), the special forces unit of the Royal Navy.[1][14] Purja is notable for having climbed all 14 eight-thousanders (peaks above 8,000 metres or 26,000 feet) in a record time of six months and six days with the aid of bottled oxygen.[15] He was also the first to reach the summits of Mount Everest, Lhotse and Makalu within 48 hours. In 2021, Purja, along with a team of nine other Nepalese mountaineers, completed the first-ever winter ascent of K2

          There are plenty of professional guides that teach necessary mountaineering courses and well as ones that work for guide companies that do mountains and treks all over the world

    Gotta C02-maxxx read Ray Peat. Don't read that training for alpinism book or whatever its called, the advice it gives will get you killed. Mountaineering physiology is opposite of training for performance sports.

      Alpinism is based if you're used to altitude or able to easily cope with it.

      Way more elegant and physically impressive than british "besiege-the-mountain" style mountaineering.

      But yeah if it's like your first time leaving Florida and you try to alpine-style climb Everest you're going to fricking die unless you've got like Lance Armstrong tier cardio training under your belt, and even then...

    You want to train on smaller peaks first so you can get used to using your oxygen.
