Alpinism is the whole ball of wax, not just one aspect of climbing. You have to know how to live in the mountains, travel, and blend in the technical skills with speed and efficiency. In rock climbing you might focus on a pitch for only a few moments, while in alpine climbing your focus can go on for months.

I was interested in photography when I started college at Antioch. I took a basic photo course there, and other photography classes. I got my first real job through a work-study program at Antioch. It was working as a helper in a mental hospital. Strange, but I'm sure that had something to do with where I am now.

Also, when I met my wife Julie, who had been skiing since she was three. Skiing has always been something we could share together - I know way more about the mountaineering aspects, but Julie is a better skier than I am. She still kicks my ass on a pair of skis.
