HO TO CLIMB MOUNT KILIMANJARO 13 STEPS WITH www.zaratours.com
Mountain climbing is viewed by some as an extreme sport, while for
others it is simply an exhilarating pastime that offers the ultimate challenge
of strength, endurance, and sacrifice. It can be highly dangerous, even fatal,
especially when the climber is out of his or her depth, or simply gets
overwhelmed by weather, terrain, ice, or other dangers of the mountain.
Inexperience, poor planning, and inadequate equipment can all contribute to
injury or death, so knowing what to do right matters.
Do your
research. Before you even set out to climb mountains, do as much reading as you
can about the skills needed and about other people's experiences. It is as
important to understand the mental required to climb a mountain as it is to be fit, and
know how to use the equipment properly, and one of the best ways of understanding this is to read the stories of
mountaineers who have climbed challenging, interesting, or many mountains. Many
bookstores now carry sections specifically devoted to the craft of mountain
climbing, so it won't be hard to find good book.
Assess
your mental strength. A lot of mountain climbing
is about your mental attitude because you will need to make sound, fast
judgments about conditions, directions, and safety. For many mountaineers, the
mental challenge is a large part of the allure because you are taken completely
out of your usual routine of air-conditioned offices and easy lifestyles into a
world where decision has major consequences and you're thoroughly tested.
Get fit. Mountain climbing requires good fitness and endurance
skills because it is an intensely demanding physical activity. You can't simply
turn up for a big climb after a relatively sedentary office desk lifestyle.
Train for fitness and strength in ways that benefit you best.
Acquire the gear. Mountain climbing gear is very specific and
absolutely essential. You have two options – buying your own or hiring it. If
you decide to purchase your own, this will be initially expensive but if done
gradually, it's a good option as you can be sure everything is fitted to you
exactly, and if you plan on climbing more than one mountain, it's a good
investment. If you're hiring gear, you won't be guaranteed ideal fit and the
items will obviously be used but if you use a reputable outfitter, they will be
able to provide quality, tested items. It's probably a good idea to hire for
the first experience to see if you even enjoy mountain climbing, and then
decide whether or not to start assembling your own gear. Even with hiring,
there will still be items you need to purchase for yourself, such as your
wick-away clothing layers, and perhaps your boots, as clothing items are far
more important to get fitted properly.
Learn about mountaineering ethics.
Knowing how to climb a mountain isn't just about the physical and mental
aspects. Many mountains are located in remote areas of the world and your
climbing can have an impact on the local environment. It is a privilege to be
able to climb pristine mountains and most mountaineers are very concerned to
keep mountains in their original condition, as well as not abusing local
amenities or running roughshod over local cultures.
Get training. If you intend on doing your first climb as a
course for beginners, then the course will serve as your initial training. On
the other hand, if you're planning to climb with a companion, you may need to
undertake some basic training before setting off unless you're prepared to
"learn as you go" with your guide. A mountain club can offer you
specialized courses in such skills as you need to know them all.
Plan your first climb. Your first ascent should be one suited to a
beginner and preferably with an experienced guide. The level of difficulty of a
mountain is affected by both its altitude and its terrain. Mountains are graded
from easy to extremely difficult, with many gradations in between. A beginner
mountaineer should always ascend an "easy" mountain to begin with,
while still taking all necessary precautions because a mountain is still a
mountain, no matter how "easy" it is considered. Different countries
assign different grade systems, so you'll need to do a little research first.
You'll also need to understand rock pitches (from very difficult to hard, very
severe) and ice pitches if rock and ice pitches (alpine and waterfall ice) are
an issue on the mountain sought to be climb.
Find a good guide. One of the best things you can do is to join a
mountain climbing club near you. From this club, you'll soon connect into other
clubs through a shared network and you'll be able to find good, trusted, and
reputable guides through clubs. The great thing about clubs is that they will
arrange group climbs, which are often targeted at beginner to intermediate climbers, so you can learn the skills while having fun
meeting other like-minded climbers.
Prepare for the trip. If your mountain is close by, there will be less
to arrange than if it requires travel to reach. If you don't live near
mountains, you'll need to travel and book accommodation, and if this travel
includes flying overseas, you'll also need to take into account baggage
allowances and visa requirements, etc. In both cases, consider ensuring that
you have insurance for
equipment loss, and for medical evacuation, injury, and death.
Begin climbing. This step is simply an overview, for the actual
climb requires many different techniques and is contextual to the mountain.
This is where reading detailed books about your intended mountain climb is
invaluable, along with talking to climbers who have already summitted it. Most
climbs begin very early
in the morning to ensure that you have time to come back down before darkness,
or if you're sleeping on the mountain, to ensure you reach a suitable place for
sleeping each night. After checking you have everything you need (which you
should have packed the night before), and having a hearty breakfast, set out on
your climb with your guide or experienced companion. Put into action all of the
skills that you have trained for before reaching this mountain.
Descend with plenty of time to get back safely. Be
aware that the descent is hard and dangerous. While it may seem easier than
going up, this is the time that accidents are most likely to occur, and when
concentration tends to lapse.
