ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Peak bagging

Okay kiddo, have you ever gone on a hike before? Well, imagine if you went on a hike and there was a really tall mountain at the end of the trail. That mountain is called a peak. When people go hiking, some of them like to try and climb as many peaks as they can.

That's called peak bagging! It's like a game where you try to climb as many peaks as you can and get to the top of each one. People who are really into peak bagging might even keep track of how many peaks they've climbed and try to beat their own records.

But it's not just about climbing as many peaks as possible. Some people might focus on climbing the tallest peaks in a certain area or the peaks with the most challenging routes to the top. It's all about setting goals and challenging yourself to become a better hiker!

But remember, safety always comes first when hiking and climbing mountains. It's important to be prepared with the right gear and to always listen to the advice of experienced hikers and park rangers.
