Denali training suggestions
I live at 400 feet elevation and the highest hill I can easily go up gets to about 900 feet. I've got a heavy backpack and something I can use as a sled. I obviously can't imitate the weather or elevation conditions, but maybe I can train hard enough to get myself to withstand those conditions. Probably put up to 80 lbs in my pack and 100 in the cart to make up the difference. Possibly fill the pack with ice. It wouldn't be the same, but it may help. Any of you ever trained in those conditions and succeeded Denali or some other high mountain?
If you are serious and not trolling, than Rainier will be pocket change (even if you don't go guided) compared to Denali. You need a lot more experience. I'd suggest taking a training class on Rainier before trying any alpine climbs.

I just learned that I was at almost 13k feet a few years ago (Breckenridge ski resort) and I didn't when notice any change in my motor skills from the altitude. I'm sure rainier wouldn't be much different, but the ascent would be.
I think I'll take RMI. I could actually save enough $ for that and it does say "beginner" on there. I think I've been given the advice I need. Thank you.
