MOUNTAINEERING
As a student, how does
engaging in outdoor activities
like mountaineering contributes
to physical, mental, and social
well-being?
From the article in redbuzz,
“mountaineering can be best
described as the accent of any
hill or mountain where the
gradient and severity of the
terrain require some form of
climbing and the sustained use of
technical equipment”. Technically,
anyone can climb and walk a
mountain but this does not mean
they are mountaineers.
Mountaineering
Unlike other countries in the
world, mountaineering is also
known in the Philippines. Since
there are only two seasons in the
Philippines, it is most likely that
they prefer to do mountaineering
during dry season. It is an ideal
season for the mountaineers to
reach their objective which is the
summit. For summer or dry
season, mountaineers must have
the following equipment:

In an article written by Ziaeku
(2020), “ trekking & hiking are
oftentimes used as synonyms. But
these two activities are different
from each other”.
Hiking involves a long energetic
walk in a natural environment on
hiking trails or footpaths for a day
or overnight.
Trekking involves a long vigorous
hike in the wild natural
environment for multiple days. It
can be done off hiking trails.

Health Benefits
of Hiking and

As well as fun and riveting,
hiking and trekking can improve
your mental and physical
health. Here are just a few
benefits of hiking and trekking:

disease and improves your
blood pressure.

5. It makes you creative.
In Britannica, camping
defines as a recreational
activity in which participants
take up temporary residence
in the outdoors, usually using
tents or
specially designed or adapted
vehicles for shelter. Camping
was at one time only a rough,
back-to-nature pastime for
hardy open-air lovers, but it
later became the standard
holiday for vast numbers of
ordinary families.

Britannica defines
orienteering as an outdoor
competitive sport that
is similar to cross-country
running but with an
emphasis on map-reading
and direction finding skills.
Through woods and over
hills or rough plains,
contestants
plot courses between
isolated control points that
must usually be visited in
sequence.
ORIENTEERING
From an article in
(https://orienteeringusa.org/ n.d.),
orienteering can
gradually build your map-reading
skills from exploring a local city
park full of
obvious structures to navigating
remote terrain with few, if any,
man-made
features.
ORIENTEERING
Furthermore, on orienteering
maps, a course consists of a triangle,
circles, a double circle and
sometimes connecting lines all in
purple. The triangle is the start. The
double circle is the finish. All the
circles in between
are checkpoints. Numbered orange
and white flags are placed in the
terrain to show you that you have
reached the correct location. At each
checkpoint, you will punch
registering that you found the correct
location. You may use any
route you want between checkpoints.
