Answer» - Ashish: Hey Mayank ! when is your next plan for mountaineering?
- Mayank: Yes, I am planning for some days in September – October. Are you interested in joining?
- Ashish: Yes, I am. But I’m not very confident.
- Mayank: Then we will go to Mount Kilimanjaro to start with. But before that you must begin with small practices like walking, stair climbing and may be uphill hiking a bit.
- Ashish: What are the usual equipments that we need? You must be having most of them?
- Mayank: Honestly speaking, we need a lot of equipments and yes, I have some. But let’s visit a mountaineering equipment shop one day to get an idea of the latest ones, convenient as well as inexpensive. I have the basic ones like tent, headlight, map, compass, cap, jackets, gloves, sunscreen, lip balm, etc.
- Ashish: Oh ! You have quite a lot. Let’s visit the shop tomorrow.
- Mayank: But you need to talk to a fitness expert to get the guidance because a fit climber spends less energy. He will suggest what type of fitness regime we should follow as well as can recommend a good trainer.
- Ashish: Yes, I know. Mental and physical fitness are the main ingredients for the success of a mountaineer. Tomorrow, I’ll come to your place and we’ll plan everything. We have to start as soon as possible.
- Mayank: You are most welcome. See you tomorrow.
