Mountain Climbing is the sport, hobby or profession of walking,
hiking, trekking and climbing up mountains. It is also sometimes
known as alpinism, particularly in Europe. While it began
as an all-out attempt to reach the highest point of unclimbed
mountains, it has branched into specializations addressing
different aspects of mountains and may now 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 very important.
