MOUNTAINEERING AS A MODERATE TO
VIGOROUS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
MOUNTAINEERING
From the article in red buzz,
“mountaineering can be best
described as the accent of any
hill or mountain where the
gradient and severity of the
terrain require some form of
climbing and the sustained use of
technical equipment”.
Technically, anyone can climb
and walk a mountain but this
does not mean they are
mountaineers.
MOUNTAINEERING
Unlike other countries in
the world, mountaineering
is also known in the
Philippines. Since there are
only two seasons in the
Philippines, it is most likely
that they prefer to do
mountaineering during dry
season. It is an ideal
season for the
mountaineers to reach their
objective which is the
summit.
MOUNTAINEERING
For summer or dry season,
mountaineers must have the
following equipment:
• Helmet
• Rope
• Harness
• Karabiner
• Protective climbing
equipment
HEALTH BENEFITS OF MOUNTAINEERING
• It helps to boost greatly your confidence and team
working skills.
• Improving both our physical fitness and
cardiovascular fitness.
• “Hiking is not just walking: it activates other muscle
groups, too, not just the lower limbs: the upper and
lower back carries your pack; the shoulders assist in
balance and helps lift you when the trail becomes
steeper.
(according to Lasclo (2016).
• Some studies have demonstrated that hiking helps in
the prevention of osteoporosis by strengthening the
bones in your back”.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF MOUNTAINEERING
Moreover, it is also great for our spiritual health
because it molds not just our bodies, but also our
character. Perseverance, patience, confidence,
camaraderie, courage, faith
Presence of mind, too: and this is a valuable asset in an
increasingly uncertain world. When storms and floods
come, a hiker is always prepared. Finally, when we
dream of high mountains but realize that we have to
start with the low ones first, we appreciate the value
of discipline and humility, and we allow ourselves to
learn from others ahead of us.
MOUNTAINEERING ACTIVITIES
In an article written by Ziaeku (2020), “
A. HIKING and TREKKING trekking & hiking are oftentimes used as
synonyms. But these two activities are
different from each other”.
Hiking involves a long
energetic walk in a natural
environment on hiking trails or
footpaths for a day or
overnight.
Trekking involves a long
vigorous hike in the wild
natural environment for
multiple days. It can be done
off hiking trails.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HIKING AND TREKKING
HEALTH BENEFITS OF HIKING AND TREKKING
As well as fun and riveting, hiking and
trekking can improve your mental and

improves your blood pressure.
2. Better overall fitness.
3. Improves your mental health.

B. CAMPING
Most people go on camping trips because
they're tired of the city or ready for an
adventure. Whether you enjoy biking,
hunting, or any other outdoor activity,
camping offers you a way to focus completely
on a hobby for a few days without external
distractions. (https://www.eurekacamping.com/)
In Britannica, camping defines as a
recreational activity in which participants take
up temporary residence in the outdoors,
usually using tents or specially designed or
adapted vehicles for shelter. Camping was at
one time only a rough, back-to-nature pastime
for hardy open-air lovers, but it later became
the standard holiday for vast numbers of
ordinary families.

MOUNTAINEERING ACTIVITIES
C. ORIENTEERING
Britannica defines orienteering as an
outdoor competitive sport that is similar
to cross-country running but with an
emphasis on map-reading and direction-
finding skills. Through woods and over
hills or rough plains, contestants plot
courses between isolated control points
that must usually be visited in sequence.
Orienteering can gradually build your
map-reading skills from exploring a local
city park full of obvious structures to
navigating remote terrain with few, if any,
man-made features.
From an article in (https://orienteeringusa.org/ n.d.),
Furthermore, on orienteering maps,
a course consists of a triangle,
circles, a double circle and
sometimes connecting lines all in
purple. The triangle is the start. The
double circle is the finish. All the
circles in between are checkpoints.
Numbered orange and white flags
are placed in the terrain to show
you that you have reached the
correct location. At each checkpoint,
you will punch registering that you
found the correct location. You may
use any route you want between
checkpoints.
HEALTH BENEFITS OF ORIENTEERING
From the website of Health Fitness Revolution (2015), orienteering
offers many benefits, but its biggest attraction is fun. It is a joy to
walk and run through forests and fields armed with a compass and
a map.
The following are the benefits of orienteering:
1. Creates a balance between mind and body.
2. Teaches self-reliance.
3. Sharpens decision-making skills.
4. Teaches how to think and act under pressure.
5. Increase fitness levels.
6. Increase cardiovascular capacity.
7. Enjoying time with nature.
8. Increases self-esteem.
9. Can be very useful and even lifesaving.
10. Become part of a community.
11. Can be done anywhere globally.
