Question

A1.What is the difference between modern mountaineers and early climbers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mountaineering, or alpinism, is the set of activities that involves ascending mountains.Mountaineering-related activities include traditional outdoor climbing, skiing, and traversing via ferratas. Indoor climbing, sport climbing and bouldering are also considered mountaineering by some.

As synthetic fibers were invented, mountain climbers were given the option of clothing that absorbed less water than cotton and wool. A climber today might wear clothing made from polyester or polypropylene, which wicks perspiration away from the skin and makes for a good inner layer. Climbers would bring lightweight and expedition weight underwear.
