yes, absolutely. then add all the technical skill you need to do a lot of these mountains safely (glacier travel, ice climbing, crevasse rescue, etc.) and there is no skimping out on physical fitness. i want to make sure that i have the power to rescue my partner (and them rescue me!) should we find ourselves in a very unfortunate situation. it keeps us both accountable.
