Adventures
Canada is a very beautiful country, especially in the Rocky Mountain region. One of its most common traits is its breath taking mountains. Mountaineering and rock climbing are very popular in Canada. People have been mountaineering and climbing for over a thousand years. They are addicted to the raw beauty of Mother Nature, and the feelings that they get. Feeling so pure, free, and calm would be addicting to anyone. That is why some people just can't stay away.
Mount Temple was reportedly the first peak to be climbed, in the Canadian Rocky Mountains in 1894. In 1955 one of Canada's most tragic mountaineering accidents happened, seven American boys died in one of the worst avalanches in Canadian history. While climbing can be such an exciting and uplifting sport, it can also be very dangerous if you don't take the right precautions. Some of the most common reasons for injuries and deaths while climbing are avalanches, rock slides, illnesses, falling, and being unprepared. Awareness of the situations around you is vitally important. Even the most experienced climbers can get hurt, or even die if they accidentally over look something. And, Mother Nature can often be unpredictable, so it's hard to prevent freak accidents. Studies have shown that people falling from over 20 feet are likely to be hospitalized; even falls from under 20 feet might sustain major injuries depending on how and where they land.
If you want to get into mountaineering and rock climbing, it's an amazing pastime. Even though it is physically demanding, there is so much to enjoy and new skills to learn. But, there is always that chance of injury or sadly death. So always make sure you take all the necessary precautions.
You should start with a guided mountaineering course. This is not an endorsement of Outward Bound, but they do offer a mountaineering course and they are a non-profit organization that helps at-risk youths, veterans, and other worthy causes. Some of the skills you can learn include compass navigation and map-reading, assessing and avoiding dangers, and many more, so check them out.
Make sure you know what you’re doing or have a professional instructor with you at all times. It's a good idea, and very smart to be aware of the dangers beforehand, so you can stay as safe as possible. Another good idea is to have a plan mapped out; on a map is the best method. This should be filed with the forestry department in that area, so if you don’t return when planned, rescue crews will at least have an idea of where to start looking. Be sure to take a first aid kit, light provisions, plenty of water, and don’t forget your map and compass. It’s best to strap that compass to your gear somehow, so it doesn’t get lost and hopefully you won’t either.
