Capabilities that an Architect picks up

One starts of as a learner of technology
One masters programming
One masters problem solving
One gets hang of technologies - to know trends
One if able to apply technologies to solve problem
One is able to conceptualize big (in scale) solutions
One then learns to develop a plan for achieve solutions - what is the order of building pieces
One learns to bring in business into picture - buy vs build
One learns to adjust plan as business situations change
One learns how to lead execution of an architecture
One learns how to sell architectural proposals
One learns how to teach
One learns to lead and facilitate - let everybody realize their potential

My belief is that there are more of such learning steps... rest of mountains in the journey would be visible once one crosses these ... i am still stuck in one of the mountains ...A lifetime is not enough to master all this ... that will keep the excitement in the journey!
