You are mountain-climbing, I suppose.

Long wild country walks in Scotland and mountain-climbing in Switzerland were particularly delightful to her.

After dinner we take our Alpen- stocks and go up behind the housea bit of mountain-climbing which makes me realise that I am no longer a young girl.

Meanwhile, I can only state that when Alpine travellers indulge in a little swagger about their own performances and other people's incapacity, they don't mean more than an infinitesimal fraction of what they say, and that they know perfectly well that when history comes to pronounce a final judgment upon the men of the time, it won't put mountain-climbing on a level with patriotism, or even with excellence in the fine arts.

Here we change to the observation train drawn by a mountain-climbing traction engine, and begin the climb.
