MORE! Thanks so much, Steve. Though I no longer climb, these videos, and their advice, are transferable to any complicated project. I'm going to watch them multiple times. Thanks again.
Wow, I’m 38. Started climbing 5 years ago. I’ve gone from gym climbing, to sport climbing, and multi pitch trad climbing on North Carolina. I recently attempted my first alpine climb and got shut down because of my efficiency and didn’t have enough time to complete the route. I felt like a failure, cried… and dusted off my shoulders hoping to try an easier route and build up to the one I set out to do. This video gave me a reassurance I can and should be patient with myself to build the necessary skills. Love this video!
Don't feel like a failure. Be proud over the fact that you turned around instead of falling for summit fever. There's a nice quote by mountaineer Ed Viesturs: "Reaching the summit is optional, getting down is mandatory". I've myself tried to summit a mountain and turned around short of the summit as I didn't have the energy nor the skill to continue, and I realised it instead of pushing on. I'm more satisfied with having taken that choice instead of forcing myself up there - and possibly not coming down.
These are simply worth limitless applauses. I wish you can post lots of more videos like these consisting of intense experiences and knowledge. I appreciated, thank you so much, and hopefully waiting for more.
Looking forward to see more of those videos, they're really helpful for the climbing community, as you talk about the most important aspect of alpine climbing: being able to make the correct decision in each moment
MORE!

Tremendous advice! Especially the rule to be vigilant in a new mountain environment cannot be overstated. Love it!

Thank you for making this video
Amazing!
thanks for videos
amazing videos! thanks a lot for those precious insights
Awesome video, what route or mountain was this filmed on? Great looking route though if you are climbing it, it's probably a bit above my grade. 🙂
Prizes for an ascent ? Surely the only prize worth anything is to get up to the top and then down safely.
Great vid Alpine Steve know I will use this knowledge to climb the great mountains in Florida
