Will Gadd and his friends are at an elite level. They would call most mountain climbing done in the continental US, summits like Mt. Baldy, "hiking."

- tomjakubowski 1y agoThis is a confusing example because Baldy has hiking routes to the summit in the spring/summer/fall, and also a pretty technical mountaineering route used in winter which people (often unprepared for conditions) die trying almost every year. Nobody ought to call the hiking route mountaineering, nor the mountaineering route a hike.
