Mountain Climbing ArticleThere are three types of mountain climbing. In the easiest, trail climbing, participants merely hike along trails to the top of a particular mountain. The trails generally are not very steep, and the mountains are relatively small.Mountain Climbing |

Rock climbers train by bouldering, which means practicing difficult climbing moves on large boulders or small outcroppings of
rock that are only several feet above the ground. Bouldering is relatively safe because climbers can jump back onto solid ground at any moment.
Difficult and strenuous movements can therefore be rehearsed without the use of ropes and hardware. When ascending cliffs that are less than 50m
(164 ft) high, climbers use a technique called top-roping. On a top-rope belay, the climber is anchored from above, so he or she is
protected against a serious fall. Rock climbers generally use a standard 50-m or 60-m rope. Rock climbs higher than 60 m thus require more than
one pitch, or rope length, to be scaled; this type of climbing is termed multipitch or continuous climbing. Rock climbers train by bouldering, which means practicing difficult climbing moves on large boulders or small outcroppings of
