The Training For Mountaineering Podcast TFM66: Simulated Altitude Tents For Mountaineers
Dec 12, 2025
42:30
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
