Exercises for climbing

lgibbons92

I'm just starting to workout and my goal is to someday climb Mt Kilimanjaro. What are good exercises to get in shape for climbing?
Any other advice is appreciated

Hike as much as possible and hike at high altitude. Take some backpacking classes and, if at all possible, go on some backpacking trips before hand.

Anything you can do to increase your aerobic conditioning and endurance is a plus. I know many mountaineers who run. Some thing like couch to 5K may be a good place for you to start.
