11 Best Mountains to Climb in the World

People have many passions in their lives which are sometimes not quite understood by others who are not into it. That is also the case with mountaineering, climbing, hiking and that spectre of eccentric adventurous and extreme sports and hobbies. But once you get into the world of climbing there is no coming back. That means you will have a need to explore more and more and more, both the new techniques on one side and new places on the other side. But nevertheless, even places you have visited before can always be seen from the other perspective which is the case in the world of climbing.

And, since we have mentioned here hiking, mountaineering, climbing, what are these categories anyway?

It depends whom you ask. There are things like mountaineering, sport climbing, traditional climbing, bouldering, ice climbing, hill walking, scrambling just to name some. And since each of these is a science for itself, we will not go through any of them particularly, we will just say that all these divisions are prone to constant changes, inventions and development (both on matter of technique or equipment), and they inevitably overlap.

So all these can (and do) overlap. And of course, many people who try one thing try many others. But some, on the other hand stick only to one thing, going to the very core of the thing they are doing. Nevertheless, the matter of choosing your favorite is one thing and choosing the places you want to visit is another. Some places are better for freeclimbing, others for hiking, some are top challenges not everybody would dare to do and so on. We have found a collection of suggestions which cover a lot of these, so you can check out the 11 Best Mountains to Climb in the World to get some ideas and something to think about for your future climbing career.
