A mountain athlete needs endurance above any other specific fitness skill. Cardiovascular fitness is of course always subject to the movement (as climbing rocks or steep ice, you will not be able to transfer your triathlete or running fitness to mountains without being solid in the required mountaineering skills).

1 - Active Tour
Easy treks to EBC or on top of Kilimanjaro. You should be an active person.

2 - Sportive Tour
More demanding treks, simple climbs, like the climb of Elbrus. You should be a sportive person regularly exercising (at least 2-3x per week).

3 - Demanding Trek / Expedition
Very demanding treks like to the top of Aconcagua, or expeditions at the physical lower level like Ama Dablam. You should be an endurance athlete wit mountaineering experience. You should train endurance at least 3x/week.

4 - High Endurance - Expedition

To climb Everest (with oxygen-support) or some of the "easier" 8000m peaks you need a strong endurance. You should train specifically at least 4-5x per week.

5 - Very high Endurance - Expedition
Some of our special self-supported 8000m+ peak climbs as on Makalu, or to climb Everest (without oxygen-support) fit into this category. Your endurance should be near the level of a professional mountain athlete.

Baltoro K2 Trek - Karakoram

The K2 Baltoro trek is one of the great hikes on earth: Our journey leads into northeastern Pakistan on the border with China and India, in the immediate vicinity of the mighty K2, the second-highest mountain of the world. The Karakoram is often described as the wildest and most impressive mountain range in the world. The Baltoro Glacier runs right through the middle of its highest mountain giants including four of the world's 8000m-peaks and many steep 7000m-spires. Fantastic views make this trek a unique experience. SummitClimb is your experienced and dedicated provider for Karakoram expeditions and trekking tours and we invite you to join our team. Welcome to Baltoro Trekking (Pakistan, 23 days).

Karakoram's mountains: With K2, Broad Peak, G1 and G2 four of the world's 8000m-peaks, the almost equally high and very impressive Masherbrum and G4, some widely known rocky spires like Nameless Tower, the Trango Towers, Uli Biaho, the Paiju Towers await us. The trekking route runs through the strictly military-controlled area of Gilgit-Baltistan close to China and India, so we have to plan the trip in time to get all permits. Please contact us at least three months before the start of the trip. The trekking trip alone is an adventure and worth all the effort, and the scenery of this adventurous trek to K2 is worth it!
