Description

In this episode we are talking all about simulated altitude tents for mountaineers.

​And I am answering the question of whether I recommend altitude or hypoxic tents for mountaineers going on a high-altitude expedition.

Inside, we cover: 

  • How altitude tents work
  • Why the evidence presented around altitude can often be a bit confusing
  • The anecdotal evidence about altitude tents from the mountaineering community
  • Some basic 'best practices' for using an altitude tent
  • A range of potential drawbacks for mountaineers considering using an altitude tent
  • Some good (and not so good) alternatives for mountaineers looking for an edge at high altitude
