Module 4 Worksheet 2

Activity 2: Essay: Explain briefly but substantially the following.

a. Explain the difference between mountaineering and backpacking.

The difference between mountaineering and backpacking is that the former requires
more skill and concentration. In addition, this terrain is more difficult for mountaineers as
it requires more equipment, rope knowledge, and skills to descend and climb mountains.
Terrain backpacking, on the other hand, is relatively easy and not difficult, as it requires
less skill to pass through. Both are exciting outdoor activities that offer many benefits to
people. However, mountaineering is more dangerous than backpacking and requires
more preparation and a higher level of effort.

b. In participating mountaineering and backpacking activities list down the things

that you have to consider from the most important to least important. Justify your
answer.

First and foremost, your condition, both mentally and physically. You need to make sure
that you have the proper skills and requirements to do this and that you have it. You need
to evaluate for yourself if you can do what you need to be successful as a backpacker
or mountaineer. When you are mentally and physically ineligible, it is dangerous to force
it on yourself. You also need to have the determination, dedication and appropriate skills
to carry out these activities. Second, do you have the right equipment and accessories?
If you don't have the gear and materials you need, you won't be surprised elsewhere.
Without the right materials, it's neither safe nor fun. Third, the environment in which I mean
weather and terrain. Make sure you know the terrain you want to explore, as it will
determine your safety. Also, the weather must be taken into account as certain weather
conditions may require more equipment.
c. Given the chance to participate in an outdoor activity specifically backpacking
and mountaineering. Which would you prefer and why?

If given the opportunity, it's easier for beginners like me than climbing, so I go
backpacking. Assistance means going to places you've never been to, experiencing
new things, and meeting new people. Backpacking will be more fun because it has
many advantages over mountaineering and is less in demand. Climbing requires more
skill, equipment, and commitment than backpacking. That's the general reason I prefer
it over others
