Dru Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Stefan said: catbirdseat said: Sure seems like a lot of posts for such a boring subject. BTW, this all got started at Pub Club last night. My two cents worth is that it all overlaps. Two tier system: Class 1-3 hiking (includes occasional use of hands) Class 4-5 climbing Three Tier system: Class 1-2 hiking Class 2-3 scrambling Class 4-5 climbing Under this system, ascending Mt. Rainier, Mt. Baker, Glacier Peak under the traditional routes might be considered a hike. Maybe climbing is different than hiking becuase climbing has grades whereas hiking does not........ I got news for you, the standard routes on volcanoes ARE hikes. But glaciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolanr Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Is it possible there are some "climbs" that have very little to no technical difficulty (ie. standard slogs on volcanoes)? And I've definitely got myself sketched out scrambling on rotten rock while "hiking." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the majority of other people would consider them climbs, and usually the majority rules. I know it is semantics but then why is the DC route on Mt. Rainier in "Selected CLIMBS" by Jim Nelson.

gslater Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Maybe it's all relative, and there is no absolute definition. As in, "one man's climb is another man's hike". For each person, it's a climb if it has the potential to, or actually does, scare you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randyjgoat Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I think one dif. between hiking and climbing is the physical effort that has to be made to go"up", and not fall down.In the Northeast[ yeah ,yeah, say what you want. Here of alot of dead westerners in our "hills" that underestemated them] , Mt.Washington in the "green " seasons is definetly a hike ,unless you are on a tech climb, or the HuntingtonsRavine Headwall trail. Come october/November, it is a full on climb, technical terain or not. All right ,now let's here the ragging on the easterner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get the same thing no matter the size of the mountain, to a certain point. I think we all pretty much consider going up rainer in the summer via the D.C. a glaciated hike, but try pretty much any route on rainer in the winter and you at least better be prepared for shit to hit the fan.
