Mountaineering
Mountaineering is the professional & amateurish sport of negotiating mountain terrain of some significance. A gamut of activities sre stitched together to pursue a goal that is the underpinning of mountaineering sport. The activity is pursued by giving due attention to – safety, technicality, weather conditions and physical condition of the entire troop.
Mountain climbing would involve negotiating terrain that involves rock, ice, glaciers, scree, boulder-zone and where using vehicles is likely not possible.
The rising Himalayas challenged the will of humanity since the history of mankind. But it was only in last 100 years that several corridors of Himalayas were explored by dedicated mountaineers. Ever since mountaineering grew as a sport more and more devotees have turned to mountains to scale them on foot.
To say that ‘Mountaineering is a difficult passion to follow’ is a bit of understatement. Going for an expedition not only requires precise planning but should be combined with quality gears, a team of dedicated professionals and most importantly ‘favorable weather conditions’.
Essentially speaking, the following falls under the umbrella of mountaineering:
In Indian Himalayas, the sport is simply called Mountaineering. While in Europe the same sport is known as Alpine Climbing (owing to the term to Alps Mountains of Europe). The same may be called by another term in South and North America or elsewhere, but Mountaineering is an out-and-out sport to work the climbing and descending of hills or mountains.
In India – The Indian Mountaineering Federation (IMF) is an apex body for mountaineering. Internationally, the UIAA or Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme is the world governing body.
