Mountaineering is an activity that includes some or all of the following
activities: mountain climbing, rock climbing, camping and hiking. The
tours vary from a long expedition on a distant peak to a one-day getaway
on the slopes of a nearby mountain.

What a climber?

All mountains are crisscrossed with steep paths with a high level of
technical difficulty. The mountain climbing requires the practitioner
skills in both climbing and mountaineering. There are hundreds if not
thousands of mountains can be traversed without any technical difficulty
and without any danger. However, there are also lots of mountains that
are just not a training ground for beginners. Climbing these mountains
requires technical knowledge in the areas of progression on snow and
ice, emergency maneuvers, guidance and meteorology, as well as skills in
teamwork.
Classification of inland

The classification of channels varies depending on the level of difficulty of the undertaking. This level of difficulty depends on the distance, the time required to do so, and the verticality of the wall, the ice quality and hazard marking up the road. In general, a gradation expressed in Roman numerals from I to VI indicate the difficulty level of the tracks. One lane closed I is considered easy when a closed path VI is reserved for the elite climbers .

The lengths of climbing technique are classified as those of traditional climbing, on a scale ranging from 5.0 to 5.15. However, a strong climber can drive a road closed 5.10 on the sides of a cliff on a sunny day will be entitled to a surprise in the mountains. Climbing under adverse conditions by being dressed in a cloak and lugging a big backpack will increase the difficulty level of the track. It is important not to rely solely on the intrinsic classification of the tracks, but be careful to take into account the slippery walls, ice, snow or protrusions all kinds of hazards facing the climber in the alpine environment.

Hardware

In the high mountains, the weather can change very quickly, the channels are long and sometimes present unexpected difficulties. Climbers must be able to overcome the unexpected and to carry around this much special equipment. For a trip including an overnight stay, you will need a full range of camping equipment including, among other things, a backpack, tent, sleeping bag, stove and food. It should also be dressed to protect themselves from harsh weather conditions as some tours can start in a green valley bathed in the blazing sun and ended on an ice wall, whipped by winds formidable.

The technical equipment to be transported can be even more varied. For crossing glaciers and steep snow fields must be provided: harness, rope, ice ax, crampons and rescue equipment in case of cracks. The tracks with lengths of the escarpment down (snow or rock) will perhaps require a wide selection of protective parts, pins, and ice and snow pickets. It is crucial to choose the materials to take based on the way you plan ahead. Mountaineering is an activity whose practice requires a delicate balance between speed and safety. Moreover, if an overload of equipment may tire you out and frustrate you, know that a lack of equipment may expose you to unnecessary risks.

The rules of engagement are different in the high mountains. The goal is of course up, but down then leaves. Never forget that the mountains are majestic, unpredictable and thank you.
