Start reading Accidents in North American Climbing. They publish annually. See how you feel after reading it. I wouldn't recommend being a "travel" mountaineer - it's something you do continually or not. Skills and fitness get rusty quick. The risk of death is real. I have almost died in the mountains on two separate occasions.
