A_Little_Off_Route Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I'm not familliar with some of the climbing terms in use. This is partly because I grew up climbing in 'stralya where they talk funny, and also because some of the terms may be new since I was last climbing frequently. So what exactly is alpine climbing? I thought it meant that you are going up a mostly 3rd and 4th class route to a summit with "occasional" 5th class parts requiring minimal gear and rope. I'm confused because I heard someone call the Bukley route on Liberty Bell an alpine climb. Isn't that just multi-pitch trad???
