   Mountain climbing is not an easy exercise and it needs lots of equipments to
insure that your whole journey is far away from dangers. As long as you get
better understanding about the whole equipments, you could low down the risk
while you go trekking and mountain climbing. Generally speaking, we divide
the whole equipments into fifteen categories. As an upper student in mountain
climbing club, I give lots of lesson about mountaineering equipments. The new
members something can not get deal with the functions of the most important
part” wearing system”. As a result, I would like to put the focus on
so-called “wearing system.”

   Wearing system consists of four different classifications which include
apparels, hats, mountaineering boots, and jackets. Each classification is
apparently different from others. In other words, all of them are definitely
required while you take this kind of exercise. Besides, those equipments
could help you get much comfortable in the process of mountain climbing.

   The hat is one of the important accessories in mountain climbing. In the
camp, the wind at the high altitude may take away your heat so that you could
become hypothermia or get a headache, even the acute mountain sickness, which
could take people lives anytime. If the lining of hats is “windstopper liner,
” it could not only be windproof but also be breathable. The price range is
from hundreds to thousands. However, concerning about the same function, it
is fine to get a hat at lower price. The other usage is that the hat can
absorb the sweat while you are trekking. During the day time, the sun ray at
the high altitude is so fierce, and people can wear hats to prevent the
ultraviolet (UV) rays which may do harm to the skin and face.

   Mountaineering boots are ones belong to this classification. The boots are
totally different from the jogging sneakers as well as gym shoes. The soles
are made of “Vibram® Winkler,” which is also be called as “golden sole.”
 The so-called “golden sole” is a kind of hard material, and it can help
humans’ feet quickly get used to the uneven and rough roads. The constant
friction from the hard soles can prevent the ankles from spraining and lower
the risk of falling down. I have an experience about that. Two years ago, I
went mountain climbing with my dad. Because I have no idea about the
advantages of mountaineering boots and I don’t like the heavy weight, I
choose to wear sneakers. That was a terribly mistake. I fell down all the
time, and even get the bruise in my knee. That climbing really was a
nightmare to me. Bearing the experience, I strongly recommended the new
members should get one. The average price is about four thousand. It may
sound a little expensive. Nevertheless, taking safety into consideration, it
definitely would be a nice bargain.

   The apparels are the basic requirements and the material must be quick-dry.
Because shirts and trousers will directly contact your skin and you might
keep sweating while you are having this kind of extreme exercise, you need so
in order to keep the skin comfortable and dry. A long shirt can help you not
gets hurt from the plants’ sticks and prevent the fierce sun ray. If you are
allergic to sun ray or have some problems with skin, the long and quick-dry
apparel would be your good friend. At this part, I would suggest that common
apparel would be acceptable and new members need not to spend lots of money
on them.

   The last category is jackets. The function of jackets is like that of "pile,
” which can protect your body from losing the heat. It is easy to feel cold
as long as you do not move your body in the mountain, especially in the
high-altitude ones. Compared to the pressure at the sea-level, the pressure
in the high-altitude is lower. The weather at night is cool, so a jacket
plays a very vital role when we are at the mountain. Sometimes, the students
would like to save the money. They would choose the raincoat instead of
mountaineering jacket. To tell the truth, a good mountaineering jacket would
cost about one thousand dollars at least. It might a burden to a student.
Once you go snow-weather climbing, you would definitely need to use another
kind of jacket. We would rather call it “shell” which is made of waterproof
fabric. The shell can shed weather and exterior seam tape can prevent wet
snow from soaking through.
