Training & Coaching

Training is complicated and you may find yourself with one or more questions about how to best proceed. Or perhaps you don’t have the time to plan your training, and you could use the guidance, wisdom, and convenience of a coach. In 2014 Steve House and Scott Johnston published their best-selling book Training for the New Alpinism. Now you can tap into the decades of knowledge that Steve and Scott have accrued about how to best train for our sport. Steve and Scott offer three options to fit each scenario and budget, ranging from 30-minute consultations to daily coaching.

Personalized Coaching

For those who want the highest level of coach/athlete interaction. The PRO Plan includes a comprehensive online data logging service, www.trainingpeaks.com. We upload your workouts directly to your online training log which you can access via your computer, tablet, or mobile device. You record your workouts to the same site and we are immediately notified about the complete training. We offer three levels of coaching service, hourly consulting, a BASIC PLAN, and a monthly PRO PLAN. Please note that the PRO PLAN requires a minimum 4 month commitment. All plans require that you sign the UPHILL ATHLETE liability waiver.
