I have 6 months to train for a mountain adventure

1) Low-intensity cardio and a lot of it. The goal is to build a large aerobic base. The larger that base is, the longer you can go, and the faster you can recover. So, spend a ton of time hiking or jogging in zone 2.

2) Full body heavy strength training. Do this 2-3 times a week. You want strong and resilient joints to keep you healthy and moving well in the back country. Strength is safety, especially out there.

3) Plyometrics and jumps with a focus on eccentric control. Once you go up the mountain, your adventure is only half over. Train your body to absorb impact efficiently, and you'll have a smoother and safer decent.

Be sure to save this to plan out your next back country adventure!
