Stability in climbing mountains is essential; we all don't to fall, do we? So we need to set our body in a stable state.
Center of Gravity is where all the weight is concentrated
A stable state is reached when the center of gravity is in its proper position. we all know that the center of Gravity varies whenever the body is moved. So the question is: "How could we be stable while climbing and going down the mountain?"It is simple. When climbing, you must widen the area of your base by keeping your feet apart (just enough to move freely in any direction). Use your hands as support to maintain balance while climbing up. however, in going down the mountain, a stable state is quite easier than going up. All we need to do is to sit on the rocks (this lowers the C. G.) and slowly move downwards. this will help you to maintain your balance.
