primary research_Requirements for Climbing Mont Blanc 

I researched this with thinking that if I challenged to climb mont blanc.

There are many options when deciding on equipment and routes, and I have to decide according to the mountain and the situation. It will also require experience.

For equipment, I need special gear and clothing that is comfortable and durable. How can they be simulated?

I also want to research training before climbing.

individual experiment_modified high heels backward

I thought that how can I simulate mountaineering on the flat road so that I made modified high heels backward using cardboard and tapes. 

I wore these shoes and walked on the road for one and a half hours which about as long as going up and down the hill in the group experiment.

- walking in these shoes on the flat road was easier than climbing the hill with normal boots.

- After an hour and a half, my calves get tired. It's a different feeling of fatigue than when walking up and down the hill.

- Climbing a slope causes a whole body to get tired and shortness of breath early. On the other hand, walking with these shoes mainly hurts only the legs.
