THE BEST TIPS FOR FIRST STEPS ON MOUNTAINEERING
DON´T YOU KNOW HOW TO STAR TO BE A MOUNTAINEER?
Mountaineering is many things. It is climbing, panoramic yiews, and wilderness experience. For many, it is the fulfillment of childhood dreams; for others, an opportunity to grow in the face of difficulty. In the mountains await adventure and mystery and lifetime bonds with climbing partners. The challenge of mountaineering offers you a chance to learn about yourself outside the confines of the modern world.
To be sure, you will also find risk and hardship, but despite the difficulties sometimes faced-or maybe because of them- mountaineering can provide a sense of tranquility and spiritual communion found nowhere else in the world of peruvian climbers. But before you find joy or freedom in the hills, you must prepare for the mountains by learning technical, physical, mental, and emotional skills. Just as you must take a first step in order to climb a mountain, you must also take first steps to become a mountaineer.
And though becoming skilled in the mountains is a process that continues as long as you spend time there, you have to begin somewhere.
