Client Testimonials
I’m back and we summited! Weather was terrible with howling winds and sleet, but we were climbing during the wrong time of the year. Supposedly, June – August is way better weather-wise. Honestly, with the weather and altitude, there is no way we could have made it without your altitude tent. Only 7 people summited that day and the other 5 were “professional climbers”. That was about a 15% success rate whereas they have more like 50-60% in the dry season. Pierson and I were the only 2 people in our group to summit and we had some pretty impressive people in our group including an Olympic skier from Brazil. Thanks Mile High!
Our training staff put together one of the best rehab programs I’ve seen, doing simulated game conditioning, high-altitude training and all this crazy stuff,” Griffin said. “I’m actually recovering at a better rate now than I was heading into the season.
It was a great trip and to be honest my cousin and were amongst the best when it came to altitude issues. We did both take Diamox as well, but as did many others, the clear difference was our high altitude training prior to arrival. Given that we both live at sea level we performed surprisingly well. Both had solid blood oxygen and pulse stats all trip long.
