Charissa |  Q. Where should you sleep when mountain climbing?
"There is a popular saying among mountain climbers that states climb high and sleep low..."
You should always sleep at a lower altitude than the one where you have been during the climbing day. There is a popular saying among mountain climbers that states climb high and sleep low. This will allow your body to recover from the lack of oxygen in the blood and brain and you will wake up feeling truly rested. If you have been going up during the day go back to the last place where you felt good and set your camp there. Most mountains have mountain huts as sleeping points in lower locations so, when you finish climbing you can return to a safe place to sleep. If your mountain does not have mountain huts, I am sure you are well equipped with a nice wind cutting tent and warm sleeping bags. Remember, sleep low. Vera Oak 555863

 Q. What does a dream about mountain climbing mean? i dreamt about being out on this mountain climbing excursion. the location was out in the desert, there were many people and for some strange reason the city bus route ran all the way out there.(strange) so we checked our equipment and began training for cliff jumping and repelling. it started raining(hard); noone had a tent so everbody did some kind of ninja disappearing act and i was stuck out by myself. so, now i'm in the mountains, in the desert, alone in the rain, and the last bus to town just left. what is this about?
plus my girlfriend just left me.(in real life)
"Mountain climbing shows your ambition to come up in life..."
Mountain climbing shows your ambition to come up in life. Rain indicates the obstsructions. Open space like desert shows the that you keep your mind open to solutions you get. The bus journey indicates the help you get in your attempts. But as you didn't do the ninja act. It shows that you donot try to escape from the problem. So you will overcome all obstacles and will definitely be successful in you attempts and reach your goals.

Q. Celebrities red nose mountain climb? i heard that there was around 180 people climbing the mountain with the celebrities, after every stop they had there tents set up for them & there food cooked for them, they had doctors at there beck & call & if they felt weary they had a couple of people at there side to help them along, they all went on about how hard it was but they were virtually carried up the mountain.
don't get me wrong it's great that they raised the money but i don't think they desevrve as much respect as the people that climb the mountain without all that support.
anyone agree?
jo whiley on radio 1 mentioned there were 180 people with them & the rest i saw on the documentry on the bbc.
ok "cornish" good point! but in that case i don't respect anyone climbing that mountain, its a glorified guided tour with the possibility of altitude sickness!
Totally Agree with you on every point Keith!

Q. What to get the mountain hiker who has everything? ? i need a gift idea for an avid mountain hiker and camper. he doesn't rock climb, just scrambles. he hikes to remote places and camps, usually 2-3 day hikes. he has all the basics (good quality) backpack, basic garmin gps, tent, poles, boots, first aid kit, etc. so i need an idea that goes beyond those basics.
titanium cook set they are ultra light weight but expensive. I have a snow peak set and stove my wife got me 2 or 3 years ago, still love them both

I know near to nothing about Javascript but I think you may want to close the frist <style> tag and possibly the

Maybee try validating the code at w3schools

Q. Would you rock climb a mountain if you knew there was a billion dollars at the top? and would you sleep in one of the climber tents that hang of the cliff the ones that are suspended in the rock so outside the tent underneath you is nothing but air?
HELL YEAH!! When I get my billion, I can have a helicopter take me home.

Q. Chris and cheri.....dead guy and girl w/ frozen hands....which mountain? so i heard that this couple was climbing this mountain (over 8,000 feet tall) and the dude was smoking pot all the way up and he died in the doorway of their tent and when the girl (like sheri or cherie or something) saw him bent over dead, she freaked out and had a sympathetic reaction (vasoconstriction) and the blood supply to her hands and forearms was significantly decreased and her hands froze almost instantly. what mountain did this happen on? can anybody confirm this? what country were they from and how do you spell their names? (i want to check it out but i cant find it on the internet...)

Q. What sort of equipment will i need for a 8-10 day trek in the swiss alps? (cooker, tent etc.)? i plan on trekking for 8-10 days this summer from one valley to another, four valleys away. the route encounters very little civilization, i will be accompanied by three of my friends. we don't plan on climbing any rock or mountains so climbing gear is unnecessary. what sort of things will we need to bring?
"Down in a mountain village..."
A classical question! Who ever does walking (the expression trekking is not used because it's misplaced) in the Swiss alps needs this: long trousers (no shorts), solid boots with strong soles; raingear, a cardigan and a woolen hat (even in July/August) plus replacement socks go into your backpack together with your tent, sleeping bag cooker and water bottle.
As drinking water can be taken from rivers (just make sure there are no cows higher up...), this is not an issue. Otherwise: Every Swiss fountain carries drinking water! Try the ones from alpine cottages - better than Evian! Even if you think you are going to be in remote areas - there is always a little grocery shop to be found in the tiniest villages where you can get basic stuff. If you want to be on the safe side anyway, bring dry soup, dry meat (best is air dried beef from the Grisons, a Swiss specialty, although expensive), dry sausages, rye bred, dried fruit, tea bags and sugar. An old newspaper can be used for not only making fire, by the way... These items would do for some days, later, down in a mountain village, you have a wider choice at your finger tips again.
As for maps (besides probably a general overview) or even high tech equipment such as GPS/navigation systems: Forget them, you only have to carry them! There is a complete system of walking trails marked throughout Switzerland (so from the Lake of Geneva to the Lake of Constance, from Bargen in the North to Chiasso in the South), they are all marked with the same yellow way signs: either as quadrangular signposts or yellow stripes on trees, walls or stones. The distances are indicated on yellow arrows - not marked in kms but in hours, very practical and really reliable! If you go higher up (over mountain passes or up to the highest peaks), a similar system is applied: Red-white-red parallel stripes painted onto rocks or trees. If you are not a real dummy, there is no way to get lost with this system. And just before you think you are lost anyway: A person is very seldom far away in our tiny country, pitch up your tent and wait for someone or make a phone call since the mobile system works also in seemingly undercivilized areas. There is nothing better than to be "lost" in the middle of nowhere! Enjoy! :-)

Q. Is hiking barefoot more fun than wearing heavy alpine boots? some time back i went for some extensive hiking in the indian himalayas. i know: many of you wouldn’t even think about walking barefoot up there! but believe me: it was so much fun! i didn’t carry any shoes, not even in my backpack. i enjoyed every minute of the trip on my bare soles… the trek to the source of the ganges river was a special experience: 36 km (18 km one way) of mountain trails, two nights in a tent… climbing over countless rocks, wading through ice-cold rivulets… crossing little patches of snow… many interesting sensations for my well-trained bare feet! yes, it’s all about additional sensual experiences – that’s what makes travelling and hiking barefoot so special! feeling the rough granite beneath my soles, crossing a muddy meadow, patches of snow and little streams providing some refreshment… tired feet are unknown to me, even after many kilometres of brisk hiking! that’s one big advantage of hiking barefoot… and there is the way i experience temperature: nights are quite chilly up there (the thermometer once dropped to -2 ° c), but during daytime, things change quickly as soon as the first rays of the sun are touching the ground! it’s amazing to be able to feel the difference between a shady and sunny section of the trail! i was spending the night in an open tent together with other hikers. the morning was quite chilly, and while having a cup of chai, a girl from tel aviv admired my ability to “stay bare” in the cold! she told me she would love to do the hike barefoot too, and i assured her that after a few weeks of travelling barefoot, she’ll be able to do things like that without ever having to bother about her feet. on my way back i passed a couple in their early 30ies. the husband looked a bit surprised, spotting my tanned bare feet, but his wife gave me a big smile, saying: “barefoot – that’s great”. what do you think: is hiking barefoot more fun than wearing heavy alpine boots?
"I don't bother taking any type of footwear with me and there..."
You sound like a hard-core barefooter. EXCELLENT.
I too go hiking barefoot and enjoy all the sensations of it all. I especially love the temperature changes you experince throughout the different hours of the day.
36 km is impressive. I have never done that much. I limit my barefoot hiking to my immediate area where I live. I am fortunate that my family owns about 200 hectares of natural forestland and I have hiked barefoot over just about all of, but not at once. Like you, I don't bother taking ANY type of footwear with me and there is no need to pack any bandaging supplies expressly for the feet.
I love walking in cold water and ice and snow and I envy you for being able to do that on a warm summer day.
No tired feet -- hey you are so right. I never gave it much thought before. Of course, never any blisters or sweaty feet, either.
More people need to experince life barefoot.
