Who participates in Fit 2 Climb™?
Fit 2 Climb™ participants mainly climb with professional guide services, as part of organized charity climbs, and/or with established climbing clubs. Our program is designed for both new and veteran climbers. Sign up as an individual, or with a group.
While we do not provide guiding or leadership services, we are aligned with the best guide companies worldwide. Our goal is to help you have your best climbing experience, so we’re happy to offer you assistance in choosing the ideal climb for your situation to create a seamless training and climbing experience.
In addition to the standard Fit 2 Climb™ program, adventX™ also offers customized and one-on-one coaching. For health clubs, groups, and charity climbs, we can help facilitate your process, and we offer train-the-trainer programs if desired. Don’t hesitate to call or email us to find out more.
Where does Fit 2 Climb™ train?
We train locally – in the Seattle and Puget Sound region. We encourage participation in our adventX outdoor classes located in areas such as Discovery Park, Greenlake, Lincoln Park, Bothell Landing, and so on (programs offered quarterly, locations vary). Hikes will be organized around the Pacific Northwest – most within a one-hour drive of Seattle.
Which peaks do we train for?
Our clients prepare for summit climbs of many of the region’s major peaks, such as Mount Rainier, Mount Baker, Mount Adams, Glacier Peak, and Mount Shuksan. We also coach climbers attempting any or all of the Seven summits: Kilimanjaro, Aconcagua, Carstensz, Mount McKinley (Denali), Mount Vinson, Mount Elbrus, and Mount Everest.
