The knowledge about Mountaineering can be acquired in two ways:
- Knowledge thru Reading
- Knowledge thru Experience
We all want to create our adventure and have fun, but we must prepare and ready ourselves for the unexpected things we will face through the journey. I recommend 5 books that will serve as a guide as you begin your backpacking adventure.
