It's one of my passions.

There were a few earlier threads in which it was discussed, but I decided to start a new thread devoted to mountain climbing and trekking.

The 2009 Climbing Season in the N. Hemisphere is in full swing.

Red Rum is a mountain climber, Mount Kilimanjaro is next for him. He climbs regularly. Maybe he'll post.

I am always fascinated by the challenge and adventure of mountaineering. The 2009 season is an exciting time for climbers and trekkers, with many expeditions and treks already underway. It's wonderful to see so many people pursuing their passion for climbing and exploring new heights.

As always, safety should be a top priority in any mountaineering endeavor. Proper planning, training, and equipment are essential for a successful and safe climb. Additionally, it's important to respect the environment and follow Leave No Trace principles to preserve the natural beauty of these magnificent mountains.

I am particularly interested in the links provided, as they offer a glimpse into the current expeditions and treks taking place. It's always inspiring to see the determination and perseverance of climbers as they push themselves to reach new summits.

In regards to the earlier threads, it's interesting to see the diverse opinions on the top places in the world for mountaineering. Each location offers its own unique challenges and rewards, and it's ultimately up to the individual to decide which mountains they want to conquer.

Lastly, I want to mention the importance of documenting these expeditions and treks. Not only does it provide a record of these incredible achievements, but it also allows for scientific research and insights into the effects of high altitude on the human body. I look forward to following the progress of the 2009 season and wish all climbers and trekkers a safe and fulfilling journey.
