| Tiivistelmä: | Mountaineering is a long established adventure sport predicted on physical activity, challenge, and risk-taking. It has been, hitherto, the preserve of an experienced elite whose approach is epitomized by self-reliance and independent operation in such destinations. Social boundaries separating mountaineers from tourists are becoming blurred. Adventure tourism has accelerated a discernible move towards the commodification of mountains. Evidence suggests a dilution of the essential ingredients of "being a mountaineer" as a result of a democratization process facilitated by the arrival of some urban characteristics in wild mountain regions. |
