Mountaineering is basically like hiking, but you have to leave grandma out of the picture. Let’s say you don’t just hike the Kilimanjaro.
Mountaineering involves a more challenging hiking, and you’ll get to much higher attitudes. You also have to keep the next rules:
- Stay Safe.*
- Don’t go for the Himalayas. If you are a beginner, you should act as one and start practicing in your back yard – that is if it has a nice little hill. Go to a state park that’s near you and work your way to the top. Literally.
- Know your body. Don’t go over the top. You should be aware of what you are capable. Don’t join an advanced group if you are a beginner and remember to come physically prepared, stretched and all, so you won’t pull a muscle during the hike.
- Practice. Start to carry a heavy backpack when you engage your daily activities. Run, jog, do bike, climb indoor. And carry a backpack.
- Be ready. Write down a list of the things you need to take. Don’t forget to carry water – lots of water.
- Read. Learn. Know the basic essentials. Review your Scouts education - figure how to tie a useful knot and work on your survival instincts.
Get yourself some good karma, join local guides and climb.
Limitless Adventures will take you to some of the most beautiful peaks, anywhere in the world, from the roof Africa on Mt. Kilimanjaro to the many 14,000 ft. peaks of Colorado.

Fear is probably the number one reason why people keep putting aside an
adventure travel vacation that deep down they really want to do. Usually, because of fear their lives are boring, they are stuck inside and afraid to try new things. We definitely don't think we are psychologists, however we do know that fear can hold a lot of people back from trying things they know would be fun.
However, if fear is an issue we strongly suggest you bring someone along. That way you'll have someone familiar close by that can help you get out of your comfort zone. Plus bringing someone along can make the trip more memorable and you can share memories even after your trip is over. Also, if you bring a close friend or significant other, adventure travel can be therapy. The experience will allow you and your partner to bond together.
There are many advantages to grabbing your closets "other" and getting over your fear. Stop watching television and try it yourself. If you are afraid to go out of the country, try adventure travel right here. For adventure travel right next door visit our website at

Last week we discussed a few tips on how to take a boring ski vacation and turn it to an adventure travel experience. But once yo've made the decision to take your Colorado ski vacation to the next level, what should you pack? The first thing to pack is definitely your ski gear. When hitting the slopes its important to layer so that as you warm up your can slowly shed pieces of clothing. When layering consider a turtlenecks, socks, sweater, water repellent pant, and wool.
