How About Mountain Climbing?

How About Mountain Climbing?

If you have never done any climbing but want to begin, then begin in a
small way. It is a well known fact that there are lots of great mountains
in the US that are perfect for those who are beginners. As long as you are
prepared you will do fine but first you must know how to use a compass and
read a trail map.

Good hiking boots are a must and should fit the terrain that you will be
climbing. Of course you will break them in before you head out for you
adventure. Another must is to bring enough water and food for your climb
and tell somewhere where you are going so if you don’t return, they can call
for help. Climbing alone is not a good idea but your climbing buddy must be
just as prepared as you are.

Get your body in shape for climbing and get some lessons first. There are
many destinations for beginner climbers. In Georgia that is the Chimney tops
Trail in the Smoky Mountains, Stowe Vermont has Mount Mansfield and New
Hampshire offers Black Cap in North Conway. Also in this state is Mt.
