Back in 2021 I hiked a moderately high mountain near Banff, Alberta called Mount Rundle (8500 feet elevation). And although it mostly kicked my butt in terms of cardio, I was able to summit in about 4 hours despite zero prior hiking experience. This year I decided to push the limit even further and take up mountaineering with a guided climb of a mountain called Athabasca - an 11,500 foot peak in the Rocky Mountains which is surrounded by glaciers on three sides. It quickly proved to be the hardest physical challenge I've ever attempted, and this is coming from a guy who's competed in 10+ bodybuilding, men's physique, and powerlifting competitions. Everything was OK at first but once we were about 3-4 hours into the climb and reached 8000 feet altitude, it got very hard and I'd be lying if I said I didn't start to freak out a little. Safely crossing a glacier was an incredible experience, both in terms of it's natural beauty but also it's danger due to hidden ice crevasses, which are like little grand canyons which spread out randomly throughout the glacier. In the end we were able to finish and summit a peak, however the overall expedition was not without its challenges.
