The world looks so beautiful from the top of this mountain. See my hike on some trails and see some neat things along the way tot he top of the mountain. The elevation at the top of the mountain is about 4 thousand feet above sea level. My daughters were in school so I thought I would get out and do something fun to keep myself from getting bored while they are in school. My daughters and I did a similar hike up a mountain a few days ago but we never made it to this mountain top. I will be taking them up there with me during the weekend when they are out of school and have the weekend to re-cooperate since the hiking can give you a good workout. What kind of things do you do to make life more interesting? Many know me as the dad of all4tubekids. You may see our other channels by checking our channel links on the channel page.

Question: In Miley Cyrus’ song “The Climb” why is she climbing a mountain?
She talks about having an up hill battle right? Is she fighting trolls? What is actually waiting on the other side? Is there a city of cannibals? I just don’t get this song!

Question: What is Liesel’s “mountain” in “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak?
I have an in-class essay to write in tomorrow, about the symbolism used in this quote:” They read through the early hours of morning, circling and writing the words she did not comprehend and
turning the pages toward daylight. A few times, Papa nearly slept, succumbing to the itchy fatigue in his eyes
and the wilting of his head. Liesel caught him out on each occasion, but she had neither the selflessness to allow
him to sleep nor the hide to be offended. She was a girl with a mountain to climb.” If you have read “The Book Thief” and know about the conflicts and style Zusak includes in the book, please help me to answer: 1. what is the mountain? what does it symbolize? 2. who are her climbing partners ( who accompanies her/helps her/is involved in her “ascent” up the “mountain”) 3. what is her greatest obstacle? 4. which point does she reach the summit of her mountain? 5. describe her descent. What does she discover at the foot of her mountain? And finally, how does this relate to our society as a whole? I thought that the mountain might describe the challenge learning to read, but the summit is unclear, when she might master reading, and her descent, well, she doesn’t “unlearn” how to read, but maybe as she gains increased understanding her challenge reading decreases and the foot of her mountain might be when reading is a natural thing and she is back at normal life, but the mountain she has climbed is behind her. What are your thoughts on this? The instructor did say that there were multiple responses as long as I can back them up I can get full credit. Please respond sorry I wrote so much already.

Question: If you go mountain climbing do you need to spend time in a pressure chamber?
A friend and I were discussing changes in pressure when he blurted out “that’s why you have to go into a pressure chamber when you go mountain climbing.” Now I have never heard of this and said that really doesn’t make to much sense, but then again I have never gone mountain climbing so I don’t know. So I put the question to you. Are their pressure changes on mountains?
Answer:
Answer by Cody
No, most high altitude mountaineers do not use pressure chambers to prepare for climbs. They are too expensive for most people and their benefits have been shown to be not that impressive. To acclimate to high altitudes (low atmospheric pressures), climbers spend a long time on the route, from several days to several weeks depending on altitude and experience. This allows them to slowly acclimate and allows their bodies to build red blood cells to deal with the lower oxygen levels.

How To Use Banff Springs Ski & Mountain Sports’ Hiking Equipment In Banff
Banff National Park is just as much fun in the summer as it is for skiing in the winter. Banff is home to over 190 kilometers of mountain biking trails ranging from leisurely to intense. Hiking and camping, whether on foot or bike,is an exciting way to spend a summer vacation. Many people may think that hiking or biking while staying in Alberta is expensive but if visitors rent hiking equipment in Banff, they save a lot of additional costs, and don’t have to take anything back home with them. Before placing a hold on hiking equipment for Banff it’s important to understand why the equipment is necessary, and to make sure that you have everything necessary for a day filled with adventure.
Why Rent a Bike?
Banff is a huge park, and first time visitors should really see all that it has to offer. A bike provides mobility while still being able to enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. When renting a bike to explore the park, ask the staff at the rental store to help size a bike, specifically for your height. Having a bike that has been adjusted and feels right will make the day spent riding much more comfortable and enjoyable. Always rent a helmet. Safety is very important and necessary for a worry and injury free holiday.
What Are Hiking Poles?
Hiking poles consist of a walking stick for each hand. Hiking poles have many uses:
• They provide better balance
• They are used to assist hikers with weak or damaged knees
• They are used to test unstable ground or water to see if it is safe to walk through
• Decreases stress on the legs when going downhill
• Assists uphill hiking by placing weight in the upper body and reducing fatigue in the legs
• They help to establish a walking rhythm
Select poles that feel comfortable. You do not want to have to reach up or bend down to comfortably hold the grips. The rental personnel at the shop will help hikers to be properly fitted with the correct hiking poles for their height, needs and the type of walking that they will be participating in.
Do I Really Need Bear Spray?
Banff National Park is home to a variety of wildlife, including bears. For the most part hiking and cycling in Banff is very safe, and it’s rare to ever have to use a bear spray on an animal. However, being equipped with bear spray does help campers and hikers to feel more comfortable, and it’s always better to be on the safe side, when trekking into nature.
