By Alpine style I mean moving only up on the ascent with all gear in one push. As distinct from Himalayan, which means moving to higher camp in one or more round trips. You sleep at the lowest camp in any round trip. That's where CH-SL has the most meaning for me. For an Alpine ascent, I would just call it taking a couple day hikes to acclimate.
