High Performance Prep For Your Big Mountain Objectives
12 Week Training Program
Preparation is everything when it comes to climbing some of the world's highest peaks.
Most climbers don’t know how to properly prepare—and that’s why they don’t summit. The Summit Series is a tailored plan that builds the strength, endurance, and mental toughness needed for your climb. Whether you're just starting out or already in shape, we’ll guide you step by step to ensure you're summit-ready. If you’re serious about reaching the top, this is the program that will get you there.
Program Requirements
Participants should have a baseline fitness level, be committed to consistent training, and be open to coaching throughout the 12-week program. Designed for athletes preparing for high-altitude climbs, the program focuses on strength, endurance, recovery, and mental resilience. Athletes should also be signed up for an expedition in late May or June to ensure the program aligns with your climb timeline.
Already Signed up For An Expedition
You must be officially registered for a major mountain expedition, whether it's Denali, Everest, Kilimanjaro, Rainier or other challenging climbs. This program is for climbers who are committed to their mountain pursuit and ready to put in the work leading up to the challenge.
Basic Level Of Fitness
Participants should already have a solid baseline of fitness. You should be comfortable with endurance activities like hiking, running, or weightlifting. This program will build on that foundation, focusing on the specific strength, endurance, and mental toughness needed for high-altitude climbs.
Access To Training Equipment
You'll need access to a gym with equipment like weights, barbells, resistance bands, and cardio machines—or better yet, the ability to train outdoors with similar gear. Specific exercises require tools to help simulate the strength, endurance, and functional movement needed for the unique demands of high-altitude mountain climbing.
Commitment To A Structured Training Plan
You must be ready to commit to a structured, rigorous training schedule over the next several months to prepare your body and mind for the physical and mental challenges of your expedition.
You can't control the weather, but you can control your fitness.
This program is for athletes committed to conquering the world's toughest peaks.
Whether you’re preparing for Denali, Everest, Kilimanjaro, Rainier, or other major mountain pursuits.

"Made my first 4000m summit this summer and felt SO GOOD! No knee pain at all. Thank you for helping me get here!"
"There is no way I could have reached this level without your coaching. I am more excited for this mountain bike race than I ever imagined I would be. You are an exceptional physiologist."
I thought I knew how to train, until I started the STS program with Liz. What we've done in 2 months would have taken me 6 on my own. I will 100% come back to this program every winter"
