As a result, while climbing mountains and enjoying fascinating scenes to the fullest, you might as well do not forget to take great care along the way, especially kids and the old. Here are some tips for climbers:

1.Avoid wearing leather shoes, new shoes, high-heeled shoes and sandals. (Not suitable for long walk, rugged and slippery road, easy to blister and hurt your foot skin) Instead, light sneakers, hiking shoes and cloth shoes are better choices.

2.For middle-aged and aged people, a walking stick is helpful
