Climbing a 14er
15/m
I need advice on how to climb a 14er. I have already done Sherman and shavano, but I would like to train for the next one. Any suggestions on which one to do or how to train would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi there,
Let me get this out of the way before anything else is said: My number one piece of advice, other than re-thinking hobby choices, is always, ALWAYS, prepare for more time than you expect to be out there.
If you have a 1 day climb, pack supplies for at least 3 days. A 2 day climb should see you with 6 days of supplies.
This all sounds like overkill until you find yourself stuck waiting for rescue in bad weather. Biggest mistake you will ever make is thinking that something like that will never happen to you. Trust me. :-)
Other than that, I suggest you get in with a good crowd of accomplished climbers and ask them for tips. Advicenators isn't really home to a legion of intrepid explorers, but 14ers.com is.
Here is a link to the forums there:

That one link will point you to many good people who will help you stay safe and learn from their mistakes instead of making them all yourself. :-)
