Some background info. I've been doing various kinds of mounaineering for nearly 15 years - I started when I was still in high school back in Russia. The first 5-7 years I mostly went to extended backpacking trips that often lasted for over a month and got as high as 5000m and as low as -30F ;)
<P>
Then I moved to US and those month long trips quickly became a thing of the past so I picked up alpine. For a few years I was looking around, hooking up with people and doing some fairly easy stuff. I've always loved cold, snow and ice so I picked up ice climbing when I got a chance.
<P>
I'd never done any pure rockclimbing at that point but I was getting into more and more situations where my lack of proper climbing technique was limiting my ability to climb what I wanted. I'm still in this situation but at least I'm trying to work on that now...
<P>
I'm not even close to being as good as I want to but to my surprise I often find myself thinking that rockclimbing might be enjoyable enough occupation to be done for its own sake. Still, the primary reason I'm doing it is to climb mountains.
