alpine style

Alpine style refers to a mountaineering approach characterized by climbing without fixed ropes or heavy support systems. Climbers undertake ascents with minimal equipment, relying on their skills and self-sufficiency. The focus is on speed and efficiency, often aiming to complete climbs in a single push, rather than splitting them into staged climbs with camps. This style emphasizes respecting the mountain environment and minimizing human impact, making it a popular choice among climbers who value adventure and challenge in their ascents.
