Mountaineering, is the sport of attaining, or attempting to attain, high points in mountainous regions, mainly for the pleasure of the climb. Although the term is often loosely applied to walking up low mountains that offer only moderate difficulties, it is more properly restricted to climbing in localities where the terrain and weather conditions present such hazards that, for safety, a certain amount of previous experience will be found necessary. For the untrained, mountaineering is a dangerous pastime.
Mountaineering activities are different from other outdoor activities; nature presents the participant with the field of action—and nearly all of the impediments. Mountain climbing encapsulates the rush of putting one's fortitude, resourcefulness, intelligence, strength, talent, and stamina to the test in a high-risk circumstance. Mountaineering is a team sport, with each person supporting and being supported by the group's success at every level. For most climbers, the thrills of mountaineering are found not just in conquering a summit, but also in the physical and spiritual accomplishment gained through tremendous personal effort, ever-increasing proficiency, and encounter with natural splendour.
