The Ten Essentials
Our Mission
"Alpine mountaineering is basically an aerobic sport. Climbing, jogging, running,
hiking the hills, backpacking, mountain biking, back country skiing,
snowshoeing, telemark skiing and similar sports all act together to improve
aerobic capacity, strength, balance and athleticism. Some of my companions were
born with these gifts; I had to work hard at improving my abilities and to climb
well. What workouts are you enjoying?
Mountaineering is about the mitigation of the risk of injury or death through
traditional practices and the practiced use of finely designed equipment. I
really liked that part! Controlling the risk is part of the adventure. Will you
participate in our free clinics?
My wife of more than 50 years hiked and backpacked with us but never sought the
summits. Tommie still loves the preparations and the lightweight gear but she
does not now continue as our “advanced base camp manager”. She still
participates in our planning and loves to share the companionship and our photos
of the summit. There is a place for everyone in Traditional Mountaineering.
TraditionalMountaineering provides information and instruction about mountain
climbing safety skills and gear, light and fast climbing, off trail hiking and
light weight backpacking, illustrated through photographs and descriptions of
actual mountaineering adventures. Will you share your comradeship?"
