Peaks Altitude Training
October 16, 2021
Participants joined us to experience what it feels like to be on Manchu Picchu or to climb higher than the Denali basecamp in Alaska! This state of the art training facility that is opened to the public alters the O2 in the room to take you from sea level to high altitude. It’s the only one of its kind in Canada, opened to the public.
All funds went towards our ‘Intergenerational Programming for Seniors’. Our new initiative focused on finding ways to help seniors who may be feeling isolated or impacted by any number of mental health challenges.
The event included a 60-minute coach-led cardio interval class on the bikes and/or treadmills, cool down, at 9000 ft elevation (~15% O2 level).

ABOUT KILIMANJARO
Mount Kilimanjaro with its three volcanic cones, “Kibo”, “Mawenzi”, and “Shira”, is a dormant volcano in Tanzania. It is the highest mountain in Africa, and rises approximately 4,900 meters (16,100 ft) from its base to 5,895 meters (19,340 ft) above sea level.
Climbing Kilimanjaro can be demanding and challenging, as the climb statistics will attest to; nearly a third of all climbers do not reach the 19,340′ peak. Although it is not technically challenging, climbers must be physically fit and allow their bodies to acclimatize during the trek.

2017
Carstensz Pyramid – Climb #1
Oct 2-20, 2017
Carstensz Pyramid, or Puncak Jaya as it is known locally, is located in the province of Papua. It is a mountain of beautifully pocketed limestone that shoots abruptly out of a very dense forest. It is widely considered by the mountaineering community to be the true “Seventh Summit” covering the Australia/Oceania swath of earth for those trying to climb the highest mountain on each continent.
This is our first ‘official’ summit, of our Seven Summits climbs towards our fundraising goal of $700,000.00 for CAMH, to help #endstigma about Mental Health.
We will be traveling with a seasoned expedition and mountaineer guide from Terra Ultima. Check out our 21 days Itinerary-Pyramide-de-Carstensz_Eng, which was translated by Language Marketplace into English.
The second training session for Carstensz Pyramid climb in the Fall of 2017 is taking place on the weekend of September 2 – 3, 2017 in Mont Tremblant, Québec. Our expert and season trainer will be once again Léo from La Liberté Nord-Sud.
