I am interesting in Mountaineering, but not sure the specifics about it. Can you tell me some things about it?
1_Wizard
Sure, many people think of it as only mountain climbing, but it includes backpacking and hiking as well.

Oh, ok, I see. I think that would be fun to do, and finish it up with camping by a river or lake.
1_Wizard
Many participants do that, or they do short climbs called scrambles. Some even climb Glaciers.

Wow, a glacier would be amazing! Are there any really popular places for it?
1_Wizard
A good deal of people climb in the Alpines or in North America it is popular in the Rocky Mountains.

I can see those being some excellent places to go mountaineering. I would think it would be better to go with others and not alone, more safe?'

Yes it is and if you can't find a partner you can always go indoor climbing at a facility.
