Preparation
Training schedule
Paradoxically, although one needs to be strong and fit to climb mountains, climbing high altitude mountains must be done very slowly. Speed at high altitudes can kill so the acclimatisation process is slow and measured with plenty of rest days to allow the body to adjust.
Acclimatisation to high altitudes has very little to do with fitness or physical strength - the slower you go the better the body acclimatises and the less problems you should have with the altitude.
