Mountaineering photos make for a true goldmine. Mountaineering is the sport of hiking or climbing a mountain. This can involve ice climbing, rock climbing, and plenty of other dangerous activities. This sport is not for the weak hearted, as mountaineers face extreme altitude, land slides, and avalanches. Why on earth would someone put their body at such an extreme risk? The answer lies within these photos. The beauty and tranquility on top of these mountains is unlike any other feeling describable. Here are 20 mountaineering photos you truly need to see.
1. Only 6,500 people have climbed Mt. Everest, how is the line to the summit this long?
2. That’s going to be a no from us.
3. There’s nothing quite like climbing a mountain in a Canadian tuxedo with a slice of pizza. One of the more fun mountaineering photos.
4. Climbing above the clouds seems like a fever dream.
When you’re so high up and on foot, that you’re literally above the clouds you know that you’e made it. If there’s one moment that captures the spirit of mountaineering photos, it’s the one where you literally look down on cloud formations. There can’t be anything like it.
5. Photos really don’t do it justice, but they still look unreal.
That looks like a long and icy path to travel. You better believe that anyone who tackled such a challenge likely read up on their share of life body hacks. You’ve got to be fully optimized for such an undertaking.
6. The only way is up.
7. Would your family get along on a mountaineering trip?
8. If you have a fear of heights, this sport is not for you.
9. It’s mind blowing people look at this and say, yeah I’m going to climb to the top of that.
10. The average person can see for 3 miles, and this is 3 miles of straight beauty.
11. Imagine the fear of having no idea where you’re hiking to.
12. The last photo of Marco Siffredi, who disappeared snowboarding Mt. Everest after climbing it.
13. This is how we imagine we’d climb a steep mountain.
14. This puts the mountain photos into perspective, did you see the team hiking?
15. If it’s too windy, you need to improvise to stay warm.
16. We bet he’s contemplating hiking it or not.
17. Imagine climbing for miles on your hands and knees.
18. We hope he’s wearing a harness.
19. Solo mountaineering may be the most insane thing we’ve ever heard of.
20. This is for a 2 day hike.
