Mountain climbing, wow it's truly an experience. Not easy at all, neither is it for the faint hearted. Anyway here are some tips to keep in mind when planning to go mountain climbing. 1. You need to be fit for starters, that's very important. Your muscles need to be flexible enough to withstand the strain as you climb, or else you could suffer muscle pulls which can be very painful. 2. Make sure you do stretch exercises like walking everyday, jogging around or skipping rope for at least 15minutes a day. 3. When you start your climb, do not run or walk too fast, have a steady speed not too fast and not too slow, that way you won't get tired too fast. Breathe with your mouth not with your nose as you walk. Keep hydrated. Do not have too many things on you, walk light, always have a compass for direction very important too. Last but not least walk in groups it sets the momentum going.
