Climbers told what attracts them to the conquest of peaks
Mountaineering is a sport and a lifestyle. The climbers told why this is such an exciting hobby.
Climbing fosters discipline and dexterity in a person. Ability to plan and achieve results.
Discipline is developed through systematic attending training sessions, unquestioningly following the instructions of the coach, following the lifting rules, and preparing equipment. A person literally becomes a pedant in this matter, because without self-discipline, one simply cannot rise to the top.
Such a physical quality as agility allows you to quickly move from one fulcrum to another. Intercepting the ropes, jumping from stone to stone, maintaining balance.
Planning during the ascent is important; to save energy, you need to think about the route - to climb faster at the lowest cost. Some climbers even start playing chess to learn to predict and plan.
An additional advantage of mountaineering as a sport and hobby in life is flexibility in terms of age. There are even climbing programs for 4-year-olds at sports schools. As for people of retirement age, then they can find something suitable for themselves.
But the most popular trend in mountaineering is trekking. This type of climbing allows a person with any level of physical fitness to enjoy the beauty of the peaks. Such excursions are carried out under the close supervision of the instructors in the group. It remains only to decide on the direction and route.
