By Leslie Ball


Now if one would want to climb the highest mountain in the entire world, he will most definitely need to prepare for his little journey. Not only does he need to learn the basics of technical mountain climbing but he also needs to go through rigorous condition. For those who would want to go on a mt everest climbing expedition, here are some ways to prepare for it.

Now for the body conditioning, one will need a very fit body that has a lot of stamina because he will be climbing for a long time. In order to gain stamina, one should jog up and down stairs in order to strengthen his lungs. Another thing that he can do in order to strengthen his stamina would be to go mountain biking which can help.

Now aside from the cardiovascular exercises, one should also do some weights and core exercises. Now when he is climbing, he has to make sure his upper body is strong as well as his core or ab muscles. Now before one would even want to go on his little trip, he has to make sure that he hits the gym and start lifting some weights.

Now the next step in preparation for the trip would be to learn the techniques of hardcore climbers. He can do this by enrolling himself in classes wherein he will be learning about the different techniques that are used. Of course some of these techniques would include rope grappling, rappelling, and other things as well like river crossing as well.

After that, the next thing that one should do would be to come up with a list of some of the equipment that will be needed for this expedition. One will most likely be learning what he has to bring to the trip from the class that he has taken. Once he has made his list already, then he should run over to the store and buy all of the equipment that will be used.

This mountain is the tallest in the world which means that it is a mountain that is only for the advanced climbers. So if one would actually want to climb this mountain, then he has to first get some experience by taking on the smaller ones. Of course once he has already gained the confidence to take on the biggest one, then he can already take it on.

So once he is ready to take on the challenge, then he should get an expedition company to provide a guide. Now this guide knows the area of the whole mountain and will guide the clients all the way. Of course their services are pricey but definitely worth it.

So basically, those are some of the things that one should do before attempting to go on this trip. Do remember that this is a very challenging one which means that one may be in danger if he is not prepared. Before going on the trip, he has to make sure that everything is ready.
