HOW TO CLIMB A
MOUNTAIN?
 Physical Preparation
Mountaineering can involve a lot of
gear, and unless you plan to hire
porters or pack animals, you'll
probably be carrying it yourself. In

enjoyable, your body needs to be in
good working order. Running, cycling
and swimming are good ways to
prepare your cardiovascular system.

athleticism and technical climbing
skill. It takes a different mindset from

hardships, discomfort and risk along
the way. 9
