My question is simple. How are you supposed to acclimatize when going alpine style? Everything I have herd about high altitude is don't go to fast. Perhaps even 1000ft per day for camps. But alpine is the exact opposite, fast and light. One single push without camps up and down. Alpine is the way i want to climb, but i really dont want HAPE or HACE. Any ideas or thoughts is appreciated.

Since my original post, my further researched has yielded only one
answer. You must climb a peak of similar height and stay at altitude
before attempting the main peak alpine style. This leaves me to reason
that you must climb the first acclimatization peak in expedition style
in order to acclimatize properly. Is this really the most efficient
way? From what i have seen, alpine style climbers tend to be very
'proud' that they go alpine, even scoffing at expedition style. So i'm
confused where they get this attitude if this is the only way. So
anyone, please, let me know what you think, or any ideas.
