A subject that I've enjoyed this semester

I have been interested about this subject since I was a kid, mountaineering, all about to wild landscapes, discover new places and where you are quiet and just enjoying nature, and this semester I could take it as a CFG!

So we are having two types of classes, one on thursdays, where we are learning the teorical part of mountaineering; equipment as a sleeping bags, the appropiate clothe, etc), types of knots and their uses, dangers on the mountain, etc, that I think is really usefull even if you are not a mountaineer.

And the second part that is on sundays where we are going to a mountain called Pochoco that is besides to the beggining on the way to Farellones. So every sunday we climb that mountain to the top,  meanwhile the teacher teach some tips about ways of afront the mountain, some important values as a order, dicipline, etc, and histories about his live, about the teacher, his name is Jorge Quinteros M. that is a 85 years old man, and he has been doing mountaineering around 50 years (you can imagine the number of histories that he has and all the knowledge that he should know), as your knowledge he was the first man to cross the southern ice fields, on the south of Chile.  and is actually really amazing whatch him climbing at his age and with that love for his profession.

I think mountaineering contains a lot of sport, diciplines and knowledge that is quite amazing, I thing you will never stop to learn about new tecniches,ways to survive, and   enjoying what nature give to us.
