Mountaineering is now looked upon as the king of sports. But men have lived amongst the mountains since pre-historic times and in some parts of the world, as in the Andes and Himalayas, difficult mountain journeys have inevitably been part of their everyday life. However, some of the peaks were easily accessible from most of the cities of Europe. It is quite interesting that while modem mountaineers prefer difficult routes for the greater enjoyment of sport, the early climbers looked for the easiest ones, for the summit was the prize they all set their eyes on. Popular interest in mountaineering increased considerably after the ascent of the Alpine peak Of Matterhorn in 1865 and Edward Whimpers dramatic account of the climb and fatal accident which occurred during the descent.

Answer 2

Explanation:

• Hiking is an important part of all climbing since, in the end, mountains are climbed by repeatedly putting one foot in front of the other. Hour after hour, on the routes of a mountain's approach or lower slopes, the most strenuous hours in mountaineering are spent trekking or rising slowly, steadily.

• Climbing is a sport in which athletes ascend, descend, or traverse natural or man-made rock faces. For your first large climb, make sure to bring these hiking basics. Downhill walking is a good exercise.
