Long before sunrise my muscles are warmed up and my head is clear. My headlamp illuminates the world in front of me and the stars remind me of our place in the universe. I test rock holds for security and place my feet accurately — I ascend through the darkness to sunrise on a summit. There is only one reason to climb through the night to reach a remote peak: desire. If you don’t want it, it won’t happen. Alpine climbing is the most demanding climbing discipline. It requires the highest level of proficiency, blending all the climbing disciplines; rock, snow and ice. But the rewards are also the greatest. O-dark hundred is when you start and if you're lucky you will be finished in time to enjoy sunset from the comfort of camp or the valley below.

I would love to facilitate your apprenticeship in the mountains.
