How to Start and Advance Your Alpine Climbing Trajectory
On April 20, 2024, we lost a friend. Rob Coppolillo lost his life in a ski accident in the Canadian Rockies, doing what he loved best: guiding. Rob epitomized adventure, pioneering as an AMGA and IFMGA Mountain Guide and founder of Vetta Mountain Guides. Among the first 100 Americans certified internationally, his expertise spanned three decades, guiding worldwide, from Boulder, Colorado, to Chamonix, France.
Rob’s absence leaves a void felt deeply by the adventure community but his legacy of exploration and kindness will live on, reminding us to live life to the fullest. He will be deeply missed and remembered by the 57hours team.

RIP Rob. Watched this video a few months ago, returned to watch again and was devastated to see the updated description. Rest easy.
Rip Rob thanks for all your knowledge and being so kind.
I just watched him in this video last week. How sad and he strikes me as a really cool guy who was humble in what he did.

Thank you! Wow, New Zealand is a beautiful place to live! Happy trekking!
Thank you so much for such a comprehensive overview on how to get started and the “basics” for gear. This is a goal of mine, but I had no idea how to transition from being a hiker to an alpiner.

One obvious thing is to do mountains in your area that require no gear! Depending on your area, there are many groomed trails that climb up into the mountains. The important thing is to get out there and get accustomed to being in the mountains. Do gradually longer hikes to build endurance.

@@danadess Unfortunately i live in North Texas, elevation 600 feet above sea level. There are places to get a general hike in but absolutely no way to access mountains here. I've been to New Mexico once (11,000 ft) which was the closest thing ive experienced to actual mountains
