mountain expedition
Climbing a peak
A mountain expedition is an organized journey to climb or explore a mountain, typically involving significant planning, equipment, and physical challenge.
The term usually implies ambitious undertakings—scaling high peaks, navigating difficult terrain, or spending extended time at altitude: The Everest expedition lost two climbers to frostbite.
Expeditions may be scientific, recreational, or record-seeking.
