How Does Next Summit Coaching Work?

My coaching program runs over three months to gradually help you plan and train for your fourteener or thirteener ascent. It includes a mix of face-to-face discussion and coaching, online learning modules, and a personalized training plan to help you get in shape and get used to the mountains before you attempt a high peak.

The Program Includes:

Who is Next Summit Coaching For?

This coaching program is intended for beginners and those new to hiking and climbing in the mountains. Here are some examples of who it is designed for:

  • Someone who wants to get into better shape before they climb a peak.
  • A person who wants to climb a 14er but has a lot of anxiety of fear about it.
  • Anyone who wants to hike a high peak but just wants a little extra support, encouragement, and accountability.

This coaching is not for everyone. Here are some things that might disqualify you:

  • You are already an experienced hiker or climber in the mountains.
  • You want to get in shape or become a hiker but you don’t have any desire to ever climb a mountain.
