Alternate leads
Credo che "comando alternato" significa "alternate leads", cioe' che gli alpinisti alternano tra di loro durante la scalata.

Note from asker:
| Alternate leads sounds good by itself. But what about the sentence? "We stepped in each other's tracks... in alternate leads"? Or rather "leading through"? I wonder if this makes sense at all. |
| Sounds good, thanks. |
