Mountain climbing is a sport, which requires a lot of elements, including
courage, determination, a sense of cooperation, and knowledge. What’s more,
the physical ability and the endurance are both the key points in this sport.

    People might confuse mountain climbing with hiking. To tell the truth,
they are totally different. About hiking, the path is so good that we can
wear sandal to have hiking. However, wearing sandal to go mountain climbing
is impossible. The rocky and steep slope will force you to wear hiking boots.
The weight of backpack is also the main difference between the two sports.
Before people go mountain climbing, they all need a series of training, but
not for hiking people. Sometimes when people go mountain climbing, they might
face some dangerous landforms such as cliff, an area of collapse, and so on.
Due to some dangerous landforms, it is vital to use the equipment to ensure
the safety. However, this kind of situation is impossible to face when you
are going hiking.

    When you say you are going to have a mountain climbing, it means that
before this exhausting trip, you are already having lots of preparations. You
will need a lot of exercise to insure that your muscles are strong enough to
support the weight of a backpack. Regularly, there are almost fifteen kilos
in each backpack, including sleeping back, basic equipments, food, and
clothes. As a result, having good physical energy is very important. People
usually improve their leg’s muscles by running and by having pump iron. They
even can have split jumps to strengthen their thigh’s muscles. Moreover,
people need to know some basic knowledge about mountain climbing, including
how to make a tent and how to use a compass. The tents mean “home” to the
mountain climbers. In the wild, people have to use some skills to make the
tents accommodate to the environment. Getting familiar with the usage of a
compass and having the clear ideas towards some equipment are also important.
Additionally, not everyone is suitable for this extreme sport. People who
suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure, and asthma are recommended to
keep away from mountain climbing. Those preparations and suggestions are
crucial. A tragedy might happen when you fail to do one of those requirements.

    The advantages of mountain climbing are not only that people can strengthen
their body but also that they can enjoy the magnificent scenery and the fresh
air. It is also a good chance to get close to the blue sky. Especially at the
night, the view is unforgettable. Besides, the interaction among the team
member is the most attractive part. People can build a sense of cooperation,
and help each other when they need help. People will treat each other as if
they are all from the same family
