What is alpinist? How to use in English

The word "alpinist" originated in the late 19th century when mountaineering became a popular sport among the upper classes in Europe. The term "alpinism" emerged to describe the pursuit of climbing high peaks characterized by steep, snow-capped summits and glaciers, which were predominant in the Alps mountain range. The word "alpinist" is derived from "alpin," a French word meaning "of the Alps." The sport of alpinism became a symbol of adventure, daring and exploration in the Romantic era when poets and philosophers idealized the sublime and grandeur of nature. As a result, the term "alpinist" came to be associated with brave and skillful folk who harnessed their courage and ability to overcome the formidable challenges of climbing snow-clad peaks. Today, the term "alpinist" is widely used to refer to mountaineers who specialize in the use of ice axes, crampons, and ropes to tackle steep and technical landscapes, regardless of their location in the world.
