⛰️Preparing for altitude? Start by understanding how your body responds.

Altitude affects everyone differently.

It’s not just about fitness.

Your response to low oxygen depends on your physiology, genetics, training background, and how much time you’ve had to acclimatize.

That’s why even well-trained athletes can struggle when they ascend too quickly.

📊Our assessments, including the Altitude Sensitivity Test, give you a clearer picture of where you’re starting, how your body responds, and what your training should focus on next.

Better data. Better preparation.

Sometimes it’s just genetics. I was in a group in Ecuador climbing Cotopaxi & Chimborazo. I had zero issues summiting both, but an Olympic water polo player in our group was totally incapacitated by altitude sickness.

Also lack of sleep as in No sleep in altitude! Don’t assume it’s a fitness problem!
