Looking for a training program for high climbing? 
 

anyone have one?

You could have a look at this book for the general endurance fitness needed for altitude.  For the climbing – doing it?

The uphill athlete website is also a good place to start looking

In reply to Hadsbjerv: the Big Mountain training program at Mountain Tactical Institue is a really good 12 week fitness program for developing a good ‘mountain chassis’. I’ve used this program several times in the past. 

The hardest part is remembering how to do all the exercises they have. Usefully they have a section with descriptions and in most cases videos on how to do them.
