Pumped?

Last longer. We promise.

An 8 week ice climbing program.

Sick of getting utterly gripped as you pump out on ice climbs? Hate that nausea that starts to claw at you when you are death gripping your tools on a mixed climb? Would you like your calves to quit cramping at night when lying in bed? This program is an all round program for developing the physicality for ice climbing so you can focus on being present to the environment.

Focused Strength Program

This is a program focuses at improving both strength and endurance for ice and mixed climbing.

3 Days/Week

There are three days a week of programming, with a heavy focus on legs and core training.

Gym Program

You can do this program without a full gym, but it will require standard weights and equipment. There are also some optional days that benefit from a splice.

Rehab

There is a bunch of information in here to educate yourself about taking better care of your body.

Functional

This is a real life program. We are not trying to improve your ability to lift weights, but rather improve your ability to move outside.

Cardio

This is not a cardio program. It is a strength program. You still need to be getting outside and moving.

In/Off Season

Given the focus on improving movement capacity, this program can be done during the ice climbing season. Though, with any strength program, it is best to start training before you need it.

Not just another spreadsheet

Our programs are delivered via the Ascension Training Platform. An app that we built specifically for delivering programs to mountain athletes. It has all the videos and descriptions needed for you to navigate your program. What is more, it comes with substitutes for all the exercises if you happen to find something to be too easy, or too difficult.
