Operation Get Stacked

I love it when a plan comes together - having just been given the all clear from work to go tear up the alps, myself and Crispy will now be embarking on a rigorous ‘build up’ training regime. It’s a well known fact that in order to perform at the highest level in the alpine environment, you must be as ripped as possible. This shouldn’t be difficult for a pair of dedicated mountain athletes such as ourselves but nonetheless we want to ensure success on what will no doubt be groundbreaking ascents of the most nails routes Chamonix has to offer. Fortunately we have a good base level of boudering and indoor climbing fitness and this should translate well to those tricky sit starts that are so often a feature of routes in the mountains. In addition to our usual thrice daily protein shakes, campus boarding and iron pumping sessions we will also be heading into the savage wilderness of the Brecon Beacons for a few after work strolls and possibly an occasional jog around Roath Park Lake. Expect to see six packs and (even bigger than usual) guns within the month – phat!
