FYS 1058 - Climbing Mountains

Hours: 4
Forget the analogies and pass on the virtual experiences. This course is about the very real endeavor of getting one’s body to the top of an actual geologic cliff, peak or summit. The course will examine many aspects of climbing including the geology of cliffs and mountains, the biomechanics of training, the psychology of risk taking and perseverance, the physiology of going to altitude, the cultures that live in mountains, and the techniques of actually climbing. There will be two optional climbing field trips.
