What is mountain climbing?
Mountaineering is the sport of climbing mountains -- it's all about challenge and perseverance, putting hands and feet on rocks, ice, and snow, and finally reaching the top. There, high above the world of cities and civilization, the climber can pause and look out over a world ruled by nature and her raw beauty.
Mountaineering, also called alpinism, is not only climbing mountains the hard way with an ice axe, crampons, cams, and rope, but it is also simply challenging and difficult hiking up steep rocky slopes, talus fields, and along airy ridges studded with outcroppings in the high mountains.
