Most young people
enjoy physical activities, walking, cycling, football, or
mountaineering. These who have a passion {{U}} {{U}}
1 {{/U}} {{/U}}climbing high and difficult mountains are often {{U}}
{{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}with astonishment. Why are men and women
{{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}to suffer cold and hardship, and to
{{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}on high mountains? This astonishment
is caused, probably, by the difference between mountaineering and other forms of
activities {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}which men give their
leisure. There are no man-made rules, as there are for
{{U}} {{U}} 6 {{/U}} {{/U}}games as golf and football. There
are, of course, rules of different kinds which it would be dangerous to
{{U}} {{U}} 7 {{/U}} {{/U}}, but it is this freedom from
man-made rules {{U}} {{U}} 8 {{/U}} {{/U}}makes mountaineering
attractive to many people. Those who climb mountains are free to use their own
{{U}} {{U}} 9 {{/U}} {{/U}}. If we {{U}}
{{U}} 10 {{/U}} {{/U}}mountaineering with other more familiar
sports, we might think that one big difference is {{U}} {{U}} 11
{{/U}} {{/U}}mountaineering is not a "team work". However, it is only our
misunderstanding. There are, in fact, no" matches" {{U}} {{U}} 12
{{/U}} {{/U}}"teams" of climbers, but when climbers are on a rock face linked
by a rope on which their lives may {{U}} {{U}} 13 {{/U}} {{/U}},
obviously, there is teamwork. A mountain climber knows that he
may have to fight with natural {{U}} {{U}} 14 {{/U}} {{/U}}that
are stronger and more powerful than man. His sport requires high mental and
{{U}} {{U}} 15 {{/U}} {{/U}}qualities. A
mountain climber {{U}} {{U}} 16 {{/U}} {{/U}}to improve on skill
year after year. A skier is probably past his best by the age of thirty, and
most international tennis champions {{U}} {{U}} 17 {{/U}}
{{/U}}in their early twenties. But it is not {{U}} {{U}} 18
{{/U}} {{/U}}for men of fifty or sixty to climb the highest mountains in the
Alps. They may take more {{U}} {{U}} 19 {{/U}} {{/U}}than
younger men, but they probably climb with more skill and less {{U}}
{{U}} 20 {{/U}} {{/U}}of effort, and they certainly experience equal
enjoyment.
