Alpine climbing requires skill and competence in the mountains. A great start is to learn to rock climb, as almost all alpine climbing involves some alpine climbing. Here are some basic suggestions:
Additionally, know the route and track your progress using maps and navigation tools
OPTIONAL BUT BENEFICIAL:
Mountaineering is where the climber’s main goal is to achieve a climb at high altitudes, while alpine climbing is when the goal is to climb with more technical challenges. Alpine climbing includes rock climbing and/or ice climbing with snow covered terrain at some point.
Rock climbing often focuses on the physical challenge of rock climbing, while alpine climbing requires greater technical skill and competence to safely climb a route.
Alpine climbing also involves more specific equipment like ice tools, and crampons.
