Mountain Climbing, or mountaineering, the practice of ascending to elevated points or peaks, is historically a quest for the challenges of new routes and peaks. Most often a group sport, mountain climbing requires teamwork and skill. Mountain climbing can be divided into three types with varying degrees of difficulty. Trail climbing or hiking is the least difficult type. More commonly associated with mountaineering are the more difficult practices of rock climbing and ice climbing. Although some rock climbers engage in the more dangerous form of free climbing, most use equipment that may include special shoes, ropes, and steel spikes (pitons) that are driven into the rock to assist the climber. Ice climbing, performed on the highest peaks, uses an ice axe and attachable boot spikes (crampons).
Mountaineering or mountain climbing is the sport, hobby or profession of hiking, skiing, and climbing mountains. While mountaineering began as attempts to reach the highest point of unclimbed mountains, it has branched into specializations that address different aspects of the mountain and consists of three areas: rock-craft, snow-craft and skiing, depending on whether the route chosen is over rock, snow or ice. All require experience, athletic ability, and technical knowledge to maintain safety.The UIAA or Union International Associations d'Alpinisme is the world governing body in mountaineering and climbing, addressing issues like access, medical, mountain protection, safety, youth and ice climbing.
In 1953, Himalayan expedition to climb the world’s highest mountain Mount Everest, in Sierra Madre was successful. New Zealand of Edmund Hillary and Nepal Tenzing Norgay spent 15 units of the summit. When they returned, they were welcomed. In Kathmandu celebrations continue and the local people delighted where Tenzing, a Sherpas from Eastern Nepal have been there for the saint. The Sherpas, an ethnically distinct group in the Khumbu region have played an important role in all the Himalayan expeditions. Their reputation as mountaineers is unsurpassed by the flourishing tourist industry brings international visitors to see the Sherpas homeland in the foot rails around the world’s highest mountain. Nearly 30 thousand tourists visit Nepal every year and this has transformed of the economy of the region. In Nepal most of the people are subsistent farmers but Sherpas who work in the tourism industry can earn much higher incomes. The strength, experience and congenial demeanor make them ideal companions for climbers. The large numbers of tourists that are attracted to the area had been a boom to local economy but with the travelers come other things not all of which leave.
