Man has always desired to do what the others think as being unattainable . This thought has been the driving force behind the advent of the mountain sports ...Todays mountain sports include mountain biking , mountain climbing , cycling , hiking , trekking etc .All these mountains sports need a lot of essential equipments like maps , communication devices , foot gear , clothing , climbing hardware , and cameras (not essential )and the most essential are personal qualities (as stated by a good friend of mine ) like will , stamina tenacity , guts , team spirit & more.....the mountains say, ’’ be there or be square.’’
Today many companies provide all the necessary gear for these sports .Many books and journals also cover these sports .
