Mountaineering, or simply "mountain climbing," is the activity of attempting to climb to or traverse a mountain's peak primarily for the thrill of the ascent. Climbing in areas where the terrain as well as wind patterns present such dangers that a certain amount of prior experience will be discovered necessary for safety is more accurately described as "extreme," despite the fact that the term is often used loosely to describe moving up low mountains that give only moderate difficulties. For the unskilled, mountaineering is a risky activity. Mountaineering varies from other outdoor pursuits in that environment alone supplies the area of action--and almost all of the difficulties the athlete. The delights of pushing oneself to their physical and mental limits in the face of danger epitomize mountaineering. As a team sport, mountaineering requires and rewards the cooperation of all participants. Most mountaineers find joy in climbing not just in the "conquest" of a peak, as well as the personal growth that comes from the challenge, the sense of accomplishment that comes from improving one's skills, and the awe that comes from experiencing nature at its grandest.
