<h4><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>Mountaineering - Rock Climbing - Abseiling</strong></span></h4>
<p data-start="286" data-end="646">Mountaineering- Rock Climbing – Abseiling are popular activities and pastimes enjoyed by thrill-seekers the world over.  These activities first gained popularity in the early 1800s in Europe and Great Britain. At the time, early rock climbers tackled the Swiss Alps, Peaks Of Wales, and Saxony.  Initially, mountaineering began as a pastime with the goal being to climb the highest mountain. Subsequently, it developed into specialized areas of rock craft such as scrambling.  Later it extended to rock climbing also known as snow crafts that involve mixed climbing, and ice climbing. Safety is paramount when undertaking mountaineering and rock climbing.</p>
<p data-start="286" data-end="646">Abseiling or any other type of trekking activity. There are certain tools that even the most experienced rock climber must be sure to take with them. These include the right clothing, footwear, rain, and thermal wear, and must carry a map of the region. Of extreme importance are an altimeter, compass, GPS device, and a personal locater beacon.</p>

<h5><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>Abseiling</strong> </span></h5>
<p data-start="286" data-end="646">On the other hand, Abseiling, also known as rappelling, is different to rock climbing in that it involves the controlled descent down terrain or rock face using a special rope. Climbing ropes are of extreme importance because they help to control and absorb the maximum force experienced by the climber.</p>
<p data-start="286" data-end="646">The concept of abseiling was first introduced by the famous French mountaineer guide, Jean Charlet Straton.  An avid mountain climber he devised a way to get back down a mountain in a safe manner.  Although an exhilarating adventure sport, for adrenaline junkies, abseiling is also an extremely dangerous activity that requires skill, control, strength, and the right support equipment and protection. Abseiling today is much safer than it was back in the early 1800’s primarily due to the invention of state-of-the-art climbing harnesses, ropes, belay devices, and also prusiks, which are friction hitches.</p>
<p data-start="286" data-end="646">There are hundreds of vast mountains and blizzard-shaped bluffs that make for great mountaineering and rock adventure. The most popular being the Denali Mountain in USA,  Icelands Kirkjuefell mountain, the table mountain of South Africa, and of course the Nepal's Mount Everest.</p>
