I love to go mountaineering which is the sport of mountain climbing.
Where do you like to go?
My favorite place I have been to is Mount Evert, the highest mountain above sea level. 
Ohh my goodness.  I've never met anyone who has done that.  Isn't that dangerous?
Mountaineering does need experience, know how to be safe and does require experience. 
How much experience do you have?
I started when I was younger, climbing smaller rocks and have been going for over thirty years.
What is the best way for me to get started.  I have a couple of kids I would like to get started.
Few scholars say mountaineering could also include hiking and backpacking.  That would be pretty mellow way to start.
Do I need a lot of equipment?
