Mountaineering or mountain climbing is the sport, hobby or profession of hiking, skiing, and climbing mountains. While mountaineering began as attempts to reach the highest point of unclimbed mountains, it has branched into specialisations that address different aspects of the mountain and consists of three areas: rock-craft, snow-craft and skiing, depending on whether the route chosen is over rock, snow or ice. All require experience, athletic ability, and technical knowledge to maintain safety. The UIAA or Union Internationale des Associations d'Alpinisme is the world governing body in mountaineering and climbing, addressing issues like access, medical, mountain protection, safety, youth and ice climbing. There are two main styles of mountaineering: expedition climbing and alpinism. In Europe mountaineering is referred to as alpinism. In the Americas this term refers to a particular style of mountain climbing that involves a mixture of ice climbing, rock climbing, and mixed climbing where climbers carry all their loads with them at all times. The term alpinism as used in the Americas contrasts with expedition style climbing (as commonly undertaken in the Himalayan region) where climbers use porters, pack animals, cooks, etc. to carry their loads and cook meals. The prevalence of expedition style climbing in the Himalaya is largely a function of the nature of the mountains in the region. Because Himalayan base camps can take days or weeks to trek to, and Himalayan mountains can take weeks or perhaps even months to climb, a large number of personnel and amount of supplies are necessary. This is why expedition style climbing is frequently used on large and isolated peaks in the Himalaya. In Europe and North America there is less of a need for the expedition style as mountains can often be easily accessed by car or air, are at a lower altitude and can be climbed in a day or two. The differences between, and advantages and disadvantages of, the two kinds of climbing are as follows: Expedition climbing uses multiple trips between camps to carry supplies up to higher camps group sizes are larger than alpine style climbs because more supplies are carried between camps fixed lines are often used to minimize the danger involved in continually moving between camps more time is spent on the mountain and this means climbers are exposed to objective hazards for a longer period of time supplemental oxygen is frequently used. Alpinism climbers only climb the route once because they do not continually climb up and down between camps with supplies fewer supplies are used on the climb therefore fewer personnel are needed alpinism does not leave the climber exposed to objective hazards as long as an expedition style climb does; however, because of the speed of the ascent relative to an expedition style climb there is less time for acclimatization supplemental oxygen is not used
