Lesson Mountaineering
• Mountaineering is the sport or hobby or profession of walking,
hiking and climbing up mountains.
• Can be defined as a physical and mental activity that requires
skills, experience, common sense, and guts in ascending and
descending mountains.
• It is a physical activity because it demands kilometers of
trekking in various terrain.

“Though Philippine mountaineering destinations are friendly


to novice climbers, it is still advisable to acquire knowledge
about the basics such as fitness, breathing, walking, and
packing.”

 Backpack and bags


 Boots
 Tent
 Clothing
 Other clothing paraphernalia
 Tent essentials

Type of Backpacks and Bags

Choosing a backpack is a personal choice. Your pack is your home


away from home.

 Daypack - A daypack should be able to carry your needs for


just a day’s hike that should be able to contain just enough
supply of food, water and some extra clothing.

 Internal Frame Backpack- Its design allows you to move


freely along thick vegetation without any hindrance of the
branches getting entangled in your pack. The only disadvantage
is you tend to perspire a lot at the back.
 External Frame Backpack - Although the external frame
holds the weight away from your body that allows the air to
circulate and carry away some of the sweat from your back, it
can cause some problems while moving on trail.

 Belt bags - This type of bag is designed for easy access of


things like the trail food, emergency kits, camera and coin
purse while on trail.

Proper Way to Pack your Backpacks

A good technique before packing is to spread your things on a dining


table or bed. This is to make sure that you will not forget a single item.
Arrange them in categories, i.e. sleeping equipment, cooking
equipment, and the like. Remember to bring only what you need for
that particular climb.

Top Ten Essentials in Mountaineering

 Navigation (map and compass)


 Sun protection (sunglasses and sunscreen)
 Insulation (extra clothing)
 Illumination (headlamp/flashlight)
 First-aid supplies
 Fire (waterproof matches/lighter/candles)
 Repair kit and tools
 Nutrition (extra food)
 Hydration (extra water)
 Emergency shelter

Tips on using your Tent

 Keep your tent in a convenient place in your pack where you


can get the tent without taking everything else out first.
 Use a ground sheet under the tent to protect the bottom from
roots and rocks.
 Never cook inside the tent, even when it rains.
 Don’t leave the tent under direct sunlight, because the sunlight
weakens the fabric and the waterproofing.

Types of Tent for all Terrains

 Dome Tent - This is ideal for extreme condition, since it is


very stable. Very easy to pitch and dismantle and also spacious.

 Tunnel Tent - A tunnel tent is a cross between a dome tent and


a ridge tent. They can be used on grass or on rocky terrain.

 Tadpole or Frog type - Very stable and can withstand bad


weather. It is aerodynamic which can deflect high wind and is
usually lightweight.

 Geodesic Dome Tent - They are strong and lightweight. The


shape provides a lot of headroom.

The Right Clothing

One should wear the appropriate clothing based on the natural


condition in which we live in. You should be able to equip yourself
with the right garments for any type of weather.

The Layering Principle

 The Core Layer - the first layer, which lies next to your skin,
should consist of a cotton vest or long sleeved, which should
not be too tight
 The Second layer - should be loose fitting, but be able to keep
the blood vessels of the neck and wrists protected and warm
- can be a shirt with collar, sleeves that can be rolled up or with
just a windproof shell
 The Outer Layer - third layer should be woollen pullover,
fleece jacket and a jacket that is either wind resistant or
waterproof, depending on the climate
V. Camp Management

“Take nothing but pictures; leave nothing but footprints; kill


nothing but time.”

Environment-friendly Mountaineer

 Take home garbage. Do not leave any refuse from cooking and
camping at the campsite (as well as along the trail).
 As is, where is. Leave the camp ground exactly the way you
found it.
 Campfire's nice. But do not cut down trees for firewood. Use
fallen branches, instead.
 Detergent-free washing. Wash dishes by cleaning first the
remnants off the plates and utensils and drying them with cloth
(or tissue). Then rinse with water away from any body of water.
 Go Organic. Use biodegradable soaps and shampoos.
 Silence please. Keep voice tone and volume at a minimum,
some other creatures need their rest, too.
