What does it actually take to climb an 8,000 meter peak like Cho Oyu?
It’s not just fitness. It’s progression, strategy, and preparation over years.
On May 19th, we’re hosting an Ambassador Athlete Speaker Series event, “Above the Clouds: The Path to 8,000 Meters”, at Evolution Healthcare & Fitness with high-altitude mountaineer and endurance athlete Nicole Ostertag.
This in-depth session will cover:
🏔️Build Your Climbing Progression: How to move from entry-level peaks to 6,000m, 7,000m, and beyond
🏔️Train for Big Mountains: Endurance, strength, altitude prep, and how to use tools like altitude rooms and hypoxic systems
🏔️Gear That Matters: A hands-on look at high-altitude equipment including boots, down suits, and oxygen systems
🏔️Inside an 8,000m Expedition: The story of Cho Oyu (26,906’) during one of the most challenging seasons in recent years
🏔️Ask Anything: Extended Q&A on training, logistics, and planning your own expedition
If you’re an athlete, climber, or someone preparing for bigger objectives, this is a rare opportunity to learn directly from experience.
