Half Dome to a hut-to-hut week
Train for the hike you picked.
Big-Hike Prep builds the weeks between today and a big day or a long trail: hills, a pack that gets heavier on purpose, long hikes, and a taper. $19 unlocks that plan. $39 unlocks every later one, including a rebuild if you miss weeks. You pay once.

What the plan contains
- Weeks from today to the hike, with hills or stairs, weighted-pack sessions, a long hike, strength, and rest.
- A pack that steps up by a small amount each hard week and never passes the weight you said you will carry.
- Altitude guidance when the route tops 8,000 ft, including when to turn around.
- A gear checklist and a permit reminder. The reminder tells you to check the land agency. It is not the permit.
- Hike-day pacing, a turnaround, and a fueling note for efforts past about three hours.
- After you pay: the elevation and hours chart, calendar, CSV, and a print view.

Questions
See week 1 before you pay.
The overview includes the turnaround and the altitude note. The other weeks stay locked until checkout.
Start with your hikeBig-Hike Prep is a conditioning schedule, not medical advice, not a guide service, and not a permit. Verify the route, permits, water, and closures with the land agency. Turn around for storms, altitude illness, or a missed turnaround time. Glaciated mountains need skills this plan does not teach.
