How to Start and Advance Your Alpine Climbing Trajectory

[@velislavstoev]

Very useful video for beginner mountaineering!

[@ericl2122]

I first watched this over one year ago as I was getting primed for my first climbing trip to Chamonix. I returned to this again this summer before heading back to Chamonix and Zermatt for another climbing trip, and was shocked to see the news of Rob's death. I used his outstanding book "The Mountain Guide Manual" as additional curriculum while completing my Diploma in Mountain Medicine. His contribution to exploring and guiding in the mountains will be missed.

RIP Rob. Watched this video a few months ago, returned to watch again and was devastated to see the updated description. Rest easy.

Rip Rob thanks for all your knowledge and being so kind.

[@GRAND_Strategy]

I just watched him in this video last week. How sad and he strikes me as a really cool guy who was humble in what he did.

[@BlONIC]

Oh man RIP he seemed like a great guy

Thank you! Wow, New Zealand is a beautiful place to live! Happy trekking!

Thank you so much for such a comprehensive overview on how to get started and the “basics” for gear. This is a goal of mine, but I had no idea how to transition from being a hiker to an alpiner.

[@57hours]

Awesome! Nate is such a great guide to learn and grow your skills with!

[@FewAndSecret11]

is there any way a normal person could afford doing stuff like this?

[@danadess]

One obvious thing is to do mountains in your area that require no gear! Depending on your area, there are many groomed trails that climb up into the mountains. The important thing is to get out there and get accustomed to being in the mountains. Do gradually longer hikes to build endurance.

@@danadess Unfortunately i live in North Texas, elevation 600 feet above sea level. There are places to get a general hike in but absolutely no way to access mountains here. I've been to New Mexico once (11,000 ft) which was the closest thing ive experienced to actual mountains

[@TR-nw8hz]

Any poor person can climb mountains. Stop being a loser in texas and move to the mountains. The ski bum life awaits. The prime town is crested butte colorado. See you there

[@allaprima]

Take longer road trips, get on a plane. Just do it!
