GREETINGS. I AM INTERESTED IN THIS EXPEDITION WITH AN EYE TOWARDS GETTING UP 8000 METER PEAKS AFTER ACCLIMATIZING ON THE SISTERS. PLEASE SEND IN OR POST YOUR CLIMBING RESUME. I HAVE ALL NECESSARY GEAR AND HAVE BEEN ADHERING TO A STRICT DIET AND EXERCISE REGIME DESIGNED TO TUNE MY BODY TO MAXIMIZE 8000 METER PERFORMANCE. MY GEAR HAS BEEN HAND PICKED FOR SUCH AN EXPEDITION AND I LOOK FORWARD TO STANDING ON THE SUMMIT WITH YOU FOR PICTURES. I ALREADY HAVE PROCURED A BOX OF TIBETAN PRAYER FLAGS FOR OUR EXPEDITION. WHAT SORT OF CAMERA DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR SUMMIT PICS? I BELIEVE SOMETHING THAT SHOOTS IN HIGH RESOLUTION WILL SUFFICE, AND PROVIDED IT HAS A WIDE ENOUGH ASPECT TO FIT US BOTH INTO THE PICTURE ON THE SUMMIT WHILE HELD AT ARMS LENGTH. ITS EITHER THAT OR SETTING UP SOME SORT OF TRIPOD LIKE DEVICE USING ICEAXES AND WHATEVER OTHER EQUIPMENT WE CAN PROCURE AT THE SUMMIT. MY TENT IS 4 SEASONS, SO DO NOT WORRY ABOUT THAT. IT EASILY FITS 2 TO 3 PEOPLE. I LOOK FORWARD TO OUR HIGH ELEVATION ADVENTURES AND I CAN TASTE OUR SUCCESS.

PLEASE TAILOR YOUR TRAINING AS SUCH AS I DO NOT WANT TO BE UNDERMATCHED WHEN WE GO FOR THE BIG DOGS:

 

MORNING:

750 PUSHUPS

500 SITUPS

250 FULL PULLUPS

RUN 12 MILES AT A SPRINTING PACE

YOGA FOR 2 HOURS

STAIRCLIMBER 1 HOUR AT MEDIUM TO FAST PACE

 

 

 

AFTERNOON:

SAME AS MORNING BUT WEARING A PLASTIC BAG OVER YOUR HEAD

 

I AM DEVELOPING A MANDATORY EQUIPMENT LIST. I DO EXPECT THE SISTERS WILL CHALLENGE US, BUT WITH PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE WE WILL PREVAIL. WE WILL NEED TO LEAVE IT ALL UP THERE ON THE MOUNTAIN, BUT THE SUMMIT WILL BE OURS. HALF OF THIS IS MENTAL, CLIMBING IS A CEREBRAL SPORT. SOMETIMES GETTING OUT OF BED IS THE TOUGHEST PART OF THE DAY. PLATITUDES WILL GET YOU NOWHERE. IT TAKES CHARISMA AND GUMPTION, SEASONED WITH THE SALT OF THE SWEAT OF A HARD DAYS WORK, WITH SUMMIT PHOTOS FOR DESSERT. ALSO A NICE WINE, IF PAIRED APPROPRIATELY WILL TOP OFF OUR EXPEDITION. I'M HEADED DOWN TO THE CRAB POT TO HAVE SOME SEAFOOD. PROPER NUTRITION AND CARBO LOADING IS KEY TO OUR ENDEAVOR. THANK YOU FOR JOINING OUR SUMMIT TEAM. THE PUSH WILL BE HARD, BUT THE PHOTOS, IF THEY TURN OUT, WILL MAKE IT ALL WORTHWHILE.
