mountain climb

Scaling a peak

Mountain climb is the activity of ascending a mountain, or an instance of doing so.

The phrase emphasizes the endeavor itself rather than the technical aspects: The mountain climb took three days.

It functions as both noun and verb: We're going to mountain climb this weekend.

The more common term is mountain climbing or simply climbing.
