Mountaineering differs from other outdoor sports in that nature alone provides the field of action and just about all of the challenges for the participant. It is a group activity, with each member both supporting and supported by the group\'s achievement/ at every stage. - There are thousands of mountains in the world, all with their own unique terrain, their own challenges who and excitements. Someone does mountain climbing is called a mountain climber or mountaineer. - \- ORIGIN OF Mountaineering \- has been a common practice if not exactly a hobby for as lon as time. People have been scalin mountains for as a hobby since as early as 1336. Sir Alfred Wills\' ascent of the Swiss Wetterhorn in 1865 is considered to be the birth of mountaineering as a sport. Mountaineering is a lifelong philosophy rather than a mere hobby \- Unlike most other extreme sports, mountaineering is uniquely suited to be a lifelong hobby rather than a onetime experience; base jumping and cliff diving may be fun the first few times, but it\'s the same activity every time. In contrast, with mountaineering every mountain is new experience, not to mention the feeling of achievement from conquering each new mountain. - Hiking is the essential element of all climbing, for in the end mountains are climbed by placing one foot in front of another over and over again. The most-arduous hours in mountaineering are those spent hiking or climbing slowly, steadily, hour after hour, on the trails of a mountain\'s approach or lower slopes. - ROCK CLIMBING \- Rock climbing, like hiking, is a widely practiced sport in its own right. The essentials of rock climbing are often learned on local cliffs,where the teamwork mountaineering, the use of the rope, and the coordinated prerequisites of control and rhythm are mastered. \- It is a physically demanding sport that combines fitness and agility with the mental fortitude required to conquer an ascension or traverse. It can be perilous, but that is often considered a positive aspect of the adventure. There are many types of rock found all over the world, from igneous(granite) to sedimentary (limestone and sandstone) to metamorphic (gneiss).Some courses and routes are built on artificial walls, as well. Bouldering \- is a basic form of climbing that can be done indoors and outdoors. Using short movements without harnesses or ropes, the climber moves over small rocks or boulders. It normally features routes with a shorter height, but still has many complex and challenging routes. Sport climbing \- while possible to do indoors, is mostly enjoyed outside. With the assistance of a partner (or belayer) holding a rope,the climber ascends a bolted and established rock face using a harness, ropes, and a belay system. \- The routes in this type of climb are higher, and therefore require more safety equipment. Along with the belay, rope, and harness,the equipment also includes a helmet, chalk, climbing shoes,slings, and quick draws. - Trad climbing \- is similar to sport climbing, but the bolts have not been secured in the climbing route. This requires placing bolts along the rock wall,and as the climb is finished, all of the equipment must be removed from the wall. Nuts and camming devices must be carried along with the climber. This is a more difficult style of climbing, as climbers must find the route and sequre the equipment on their own. - Dry tooling \- involves placing ice axes into the wall as you ascend the rock, with the assistance of crampons in place of climbing shoes. It includes ropes, harnesses, and the equipment used for sport climbing. The damage that this type of climbing can do to the rock has made it a more controversial Style - Big wall climbing \- utilizes long multipitch routes along vertical rock, which often necessitates more than one day. The thrill of sleeping on the side of a rock wall makes this an attractive type of rock climbing. Aid climbing is the technique of placing removable equipment along the rock, and then attaching a webbing ladder to it to climb. This is repeated along the route,and is associated with big wall climbing. - Alpine climbing \- Involves ascending to a summit or peak. Similar to mountaineering, it includes climbing over rock, ice, and snow, and perhaps traversing glaciers with a higher technical level. - KNOT AND HITCHES \- Technically, a true knot is capable of holding its form on its own without another object such as a post, eye-bolt, or another rope to anchor it. A hitch, by contrast, must be tied around something to hold together; remove the thing it\'s tied to, and a hitch falls apart. Example: clove hitch.
