The Story of Everest
Ema conquered Mount Everest (8849 m) one year ago on May 13th, 2022, making her the first Portuguese person to do both versions of the Seven Summits and one of few Canadians to do so as well. On average, climbing Everest takes a lengthy eight weeks with multiple acclimatization rotations.?Ema's usage of altitude training enables her to summit in just 16 days.?This is now a record for the shortest successful commercial Everest expedition ever.
Ema's Everest Preparation at Altitude
Altitude Athletic Training is proud to have been part of Ema's preparation for this extraordinary achievement. Ema started training at Altitude one year out from Everest. Her training for Everest involved 3-4 chamber sessions at 9000 feet and higher elevation sessions in our 8x8 altitude tent between 17,000 feet - 22,000 feet. Her sessions consisted of treadmill incline walking and stair climber workouts with a progressively heavier pack.?
Once again, we are so proud of Ema and her hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Just as she's inspired us, we hope her story inspires you to dream big and reach for the top of the world.
