  • TFM66: Simulated Altitude Tents For Mountaineers

    TFM66: Simulated Altitude Tents For Mountaineers
    Dec 12 2025

    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
