I began mountain climbing when I was 15 with my dad and have followed it passionately ever since. For me, I fell in love with mountain climbing on a purely amateur level because it allowed my inner child to burst free. I am the kid that was constantly climbing trees, fences, and pretty much anything that was in anyway climbable.

Tôi bắt đầu leo núi từ lúc 15 tuổi với bố và đã theo đuổi bộ môn này nhiệt tình kể từ khi đó. Đối với tôi, tôi bắt đầu yêu leo núi từ một cấp độ hoàn toàn nghiệp dư vì nó cho phép tâm hồn trẻ thơ bên trong tôi được tự do. Tôi là đứa trẻ suốt ngày leo cây, leo hàng rào, và hầu hết những thứ gì có thể leo được.

As I gazed at the surrounding nature below me, I realized that climbing would quickly become my newest passion. Since the first successful summit, I have embarked on numerous other climbs.

Khi tôi ngắm nhìn thiên nhiên dưới chân mình, tôi nhận ra rằng leo núi nhanh chóng trở thành niềm đam mê mới của tôi. Kể từ lần leo đầu tiên thành công, tôi đã tiếp tục nhiều chuyến leo núi khác.

Sure there are some aspects that will discourage a lot of people from joining the hobby, such as physical aspects. But for those that are physically able, mountain climbing is a great way to stay fit and stay active. Climbing strengthens the back and leg muscles because of the constant movement and carrying of the heavy packs. It is also a great mental workout because climbing involves long days of more than 12 hours under constant strenuous pressure. During the entire climb, constant thought and care must be given to every step because one mistake could be critical and very costly to both the individual climber as well as the team.
