Mountain Climbing Tips

Many aspire to conquer a mountain peak. The challenge of the conquest is exhilarating and the view from the summit is incredibly breathtaking. Unfortunately, mountain climbing is not as easy as it sounds. It needs not only stamina and determination but a good climbing strategy as well.
When I first started on mountain climbing, I miserably failed at it. I thought success was determined by how fast I can reach the summit, so I gave it my best shot and climb the mountain as fast I could. Poor inexperienced me collapsed after a few hours, not only from exhaustion but from oxygen deprivation as well.
Mountain climbing entails an increase in elevation and altitude. You canโ€™t force your system to acclimatize by sheer will and determination alone. You need to give your body time to adjust and get used to the changes in the atmosphere as you climb higher. In short, you need to take it slow. Many inexperienced climbers do not know this fundamental rule. So, they undertake climbing like any other competitive sport where speed is the objective โ€“ a big mistake in mountain climbing.
Mountain trails tend to be more precipitous and treacherous than hiking trails. So, if you are not familiar with the trail, hire a local guide. Their experience and familiarity with the trail will ensure that you will not get lost and will not venture into dangerous areas. You want to follow their instructions for the simple reason that they know better.
The water source becomes scarcer as you climb higher. So, you need to bring sufficient amount of water with you. Ask your guide if they know of any potable water source in the area so that you can plan ahead on how to replenish your water supply. Also, make sure that you have sufficient supply of food with you especially when you expect your climb to last for 2 days or more.
The fundamental rules of hiking also apply to mountain climbing. Gear up accordingly and do not weigh down yourself with unnecessary baggage. Make sure that your clothing and tent equipment can effectively protect you from forecasted weather conditions.
Your footwear should also be appropriate for the mountainโ€™s terrain. Many big mountains have several terrains, temperature and weather conditions depending on the areaโ€™s altitude. You want to make sure that you have it all covered and your gears and change of clothing can accommodate any changes in your environment.
If your backpack and gears combined are too heavy for your own good, it is recommended that you hire a porter. They will carry your bags for a fee and they also volunteer to prepare your meals or fetch your water if you become too tired to move a muscle at the end of the day.
Finally, for beginners, it is recommended that you take advantage of trusted outfitters when you take on a mountain climbing challenge. They will make sure to equip you with the necessary information, skill and guidance that are crucial in your survival up in the mountain. Do not pass up an opportunity of getting a good guide if you have the chance because they will ensure that you get to the summit and down the mountain safe and sound.

With new golf courses springing up in and around Clark Philippines and an ever-increasing patronage by tourists from neighboring South Korea, Clark Freeport is short on hotel accommodation.

Even with the addition of 27 holes in 2009 and 2010, there is an acute shortage golf tee times for at least 5-6 months each year. Local players compete with frustrated (golf) tourists from Korea and China for tee times. Unfortunately Clark Philippines doesnโ€™t have the luxury of vast tracts of land suitable for this type of development.

Mimosa offers 36 holes of championship golf, visitors can pay and play, busy during the weekends but not that difficult to get on or join up with a group to form a 4-ball. The new FAKCC offers 27 holes of world-class golf.
