What does it take to be one of the world's best high-altitude mountain climbers? A lot of fundraising; traveling in some of the world's most dangerous countries; enduring cold bivouacs, searing lungs, and a cloudy mind when you can least afford one. It means learning the hard lessons the mountains teach. Reinhold Messner calls Steve House the best high=altitude climber in the world today, an honor he declines. "Being called the 'best,'" says Steve, "makes me very uncomfortable. My intention is to be as good as I can be. Mountaineering is too complex to be squeezed into a competition. It is simply not something that lends itself to comparison. Climbing is about process, not achievement. The moment your mind wanders away from the task of the climbing-at-hand will be the moment you fail." Steve House built his reputation on ascents throughout the Alps, Canada, Alaska, the Karakoram and the Himalaya that have expanded possibilities of style, speed, and difficulty. In 2005 Steve and alpinist Vince Anderson pioneered a direct new route on the Rupal Face of 26,600-foot Nanga Parbat, which had never before been climbed in alpine style. It was the third ascent of the face and the achievement earned Steve and Vince the first Piolet d"or (Golden Ice Axe) awarded to North Americans. Steve is an accomplished and spellbinding storyteller in the tradition of Maurice Herzog and Lionel Terray. Beyond the Mountain is a gripping read destined to be a mountain classic. And it addresses many issues common to nonclimbing life -- mentorship, trust, failure success, goal setting, heroes, partnership -- as well as the mountaineer's heightened experience of risk and the deaths of friends. Beyond the Mountain is a window into the process of a man working to be the best he can be.

The New Alpinism Training Log

Dovetailing on the success of Training for the New Alpinism and Patagonia’s own emphasis on all mountain use, Training for the Uphill Athlete translates theory into methodology to allow you to write your own training plans and coach yourself to endurance goals. 
Steve House, one of the best mountaineers, and his coach Scott Johnston, an Olympic-level cross country ski coach, along with Kilian Jornet, hands-down best endurance athlete at this time, present training principles for the multisport mountain athlete who regularly participates in a mix of distance running, ski mountaineering, and other endurance sports that require optimum fitness and customized strength.

This book collects the scientifically backed and athlete-tested wisdom and experience of three of the best uphill athletes and coaches and extrapolates both to educate outdoor athletes of all stripes to perform their best. The book includes the same mix of theory, application, and experiential essays from experts in the field, as well as instructional illustrations as in Training for the New Alpinism. Contributions by Kilian Jornet increase the worldwide appeal of the book.

Al igual que -Entrenamiento para el nuevo alpinismo-, -Entrenamiento para atletas de montaña- traduce la teoría en metodología para permitirte elaborar tus propios planes de entrenamiento y guiarte para que alcances tus objetivos. Este es el único libro que presenta principios de entrenamiento para deportistas que participan con regularidad en carreras de larga distancia, carreras de esquí de montaña, de esquí-alpinismo y otros deportes de resistencia que exigen una forma física excepcional y una fuerza específica para cada actividad. -Entrenamiento para atletas de montaña- es el resultado final de centenares de miles de horas de carreras, entrenamiento y experiencia entrenando a otras personas. Y sobre todo de la colaboración de tres figuras impresionantes, Kilian Jornet, Steve House y Scott Johnston. Un trabajo laborioso ya que se trataba de proponer planteamientos lo suficientemente detallados como para poder adaptarse a cada deportista, sea cual fuera su nivel. Además era importante trasladar al lector los fundamentes fisiológicos que se esconden detrás de cada movimiento, plantear una metodología asequible de manera y una guía accesible y práctica. El resultado ha sido impresionante.
