Summit bid

A summit bid is the attempt by climbers to reach the highest point of a mountain, known as the summit. It involves careful planning, preparation, and coordination to tackle challenging conditions such as steep terrain, thin air, and unpredictable weather. Climbers assess risks, gather necessary equipment, and follow a route with the goal of safely achieving the mountain's peak. A successful summit bid marks the culmination of their effort, skill, and endurance, often viewed as the ultimate achievement in mountaineering.
