5 - Train like your life depended on it!
You'll probably be ready if you can run 5 miles 4 days a week and be doing that for about a month prior to the climb. Of course running isn't the only exercise that will get you into the shape you need to be in. Biking, Stairmasters, and long hikes with a pack will help too. Day hikes to Camp Muir are also highly recommended to give you a feel for what to expect on the climb.
6 - Attend the pre-climb preparation meeting on Tuesday, July 6th.
Turn in your donations at this meeting. At that time, you'll meet your fellow climbers, be assigned a route, have a chance to ask any questions, and get assigned group gear to bring. If you can't make this meeting, we will go over everything with you by phone.
