This blog talks about mountain climbing the story behind what a mountaineer experience in their expedition, mountaineering, mountain climbing, news in mountain climbing, videos in mountain climbing, mountains, climbers, mountaineers, caving, river rafting, wall climbing and kayaking.
You see what I've learned about mountaineering is teamwork, respect, hard work, and discipline.
Mountaineering or Mountain climbing is a sport, it can be a hobby, and profession. enjoy reading my blog and have fun.. matsalams!!
Mountaineering
is the
sport,
hobby or
profession of
walking,
hiking,
trekking and
climbing up
mountains. It is also sometimes known as
alpinism, particularly in Europe. It may be said to consist of three aspects: rock-craft, snow-craft and skiing, depending on whether the route chosen is over
rock,
snow or
ice. All require great athletic and technical ability, and experience is also a very important part of the matter.
Mountain Climbing
Mountain Climbing, the practice of ascending to elevated points or peaks, is historically a quest for the challenges of new routes and peaks. Most often a group sport, mountain climbing requires
teamwork and skill. Mountain climbing can be divided into three types with varying degrees of difficulty. Trail climbing or hiking is the least difficult type. More commonly associated with mountaineering are the more difficult practices of rock climbing and ice climbing. Although some rock climbers engage in the more dangerous form of free climbing, most use equipment that may include special shoes, ropes, and steel spikes (pitons) that are driven into the rock to assist the
climber. Ice climbing, performed on the highest peaks, uses an ice axe and attachable boot spikes (crampons).
Mountaineers
is the sport or hobby of climbing mountains and is sometimes also known as alpinism, particularly in Europe. It may be said to consist of two main aspects, rock-craft and snow-craft, depending on whether the route chosen is over rock or over snow and ice. Both require great gymnastic and technical ability, but experience is also very important for the latter.
Mountains
A
mountain is a
landform that extends above the surrounding
terrain in a limited area. A mountain is generally steeper than a
hill, but there is no universally accepted standard definition for the height of a mountain or a hill although a mountain usually has an identifiable summit. Mountains cover 54% of
Asia, 36% of
North America, 25% of
Europe, 22% of
South America, 17% of
Australia, and 3% of
Africa. As a whole, 24% of the Earth's land mass is mountainous. Also, 1 in 10 people live in mountainous regions. Most of the world's major
rivers are fed from mountain sources,and more than half of humanity depends on mountains for water.
Caving
is the recreational
sport of exploring
caves.
Speleology is the scientific study of caves and the cave environment.
The challenges of the sport depend on the cave being visited, but often include the negotiation of pitches, squeezes, and water. Climbing or crawling is often necessary, and ropes are used extensively.
Caving is often undertaken for the enjoyment of the activity or for physical exercise, but original exploration, or physical or biological science is an important goal for many cavers. Virgin cave systems comprise some of the last unexplored regions on Earth and much effort is put into trying to locate and enter them. In well-explored regions (such as most first-world countries), the most accessible caves have already been explored, and gaining access to new caves often requires digging or diving.
Its time that the world knows that the Philippines can do it to reach the highest mountain on earth. Three Filipino climbers namely Janet Belarmino, Carina Dayondon and Noelle Wenceslao
