Mountaineering is not an easy adventure sport. It takes a lot of planning and preparation in advance to be able to take on towering peaks. You have to decide beforehand the number of weeks or months required to climb, prepare your kit and also decide the route.
Traveling light is all the more important when you are climbing up a mountain. Though, you need a good amount of food to pack in the required energy which is necessary for the ascent. So make sure you carry high-energy bars and pre-packaged meals with you.
Weather plays a very major role in mountaineering and can make the journey smooth or wreck havoc on it. It is important that you get a local weather forecast before you start your trip.
