Synopsis "Training for the New Alpinism: A Manual for the Climber as Athlete"

In Training for the New Alpinism, Steve House, world-class climber and Patagonia ambassador, and Scott Johnston, coach of U.S. National Champions and World Cup Nordic Skiers, translate training theory into practice to allow you to coach yourself to any mountaineering goal. Applying training practices from other endurance sports, House and Johnston demonstrate that following a carefully designed regimen is as effective for alpinism as it is for any other endurance sport and leads to better performance. They deliver detailed instruction on how to plan and execute training tailored to your individual circumstances. Whether you work as a banker or a mountain guide, live in the city or the country, are an ice climber, a mountaineer heading to Denali, or a veteran of 8,000-meter peaks, your understanding of how to achieve your goals grows exponentially as you work with this book. Chapters cover endurance and strength training theory and methodology, application and planning, nutrition, altitude, mental fitness, and assessing your goals and your strengths. Chapters are augmented with inspiring essays by world-renowned climbers, including Ueli Steck, Mark Twight, Peter Habeler, Voytek Kurtyka, and Will Gadd. Filled with photos, graphs, and illustrations.

Steve House is an American alpinist and mountain guide, born on August 4, 1970 in La Grande, Oregon. Known for his light and fast alpine style, he has made notable ascents on mountains such as Nanga Parbat and K7. In 2005, along with Vince Anderson, he climbed the Central Pillar of the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat, a feat that earned them the prestigious Piolet d'Or award. House has also been an ambassador for the Patagonia brand and is co-founder of the Uphill Athlete training platform.

Among his most outstanding works are Beyond the Mountain (2009), which received the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature, and Training for the New Alpinism (2014), co-written with Scott Johnston. In 2019, along with Johnston and Kilian Jornet, he published Training for the Uphill Athlete, focused on training for mountain runners and ski mountaineers. These publications combine personal experiences with training principles, becoming key references for mountain athletes.
