  True, not talking about Everest. I was just thinking of my own experiences, which usually involve a path of some sort, kept or not. I’m not trying to go where no person has gone before.

    You seem like the right person to ask this question…where does “hiking up a mountain” end and “mountain climbing” begin? Is it scrabble-related? A specific incline? Mostly in your heart, maybe?

      One is on foot the other involves your hands and if you’re not insane rope.

      I like other dude’s answer, but I’ll add that short of near vertical climbs. I carry anchors, but rarely need them.

      If you need gear, it’s more than a hike.

        Hikes definitely need gear. A water bottle is gear
