We are conducting a research project to investigate how people prepare for climbs of mountains above 6,000 m and, in particular, whether or not they use hypoxic training systems, which allow climbers to sleep and/or exercise in low oxygen (i.e., hypoxic) conditions, as part of their trip preparation. If you are 18 years or older and have attempted or successfully climbed a peak over 6,000m, you can provide valuable information for our study, which is run through the University of Washington. The survey, available only in English, will take 15 to 20 minutes and does not require personal information. Prior use of hypoxic training systems is not required to participate; however, eligible participants should have experience attempting to climb at least one peak over 6,000m.
