      @@asdfghjklyzxcvbnm ok, but then Europeans, and anyone who lived near mountains, have been climbing for centuries too. Modern climbing, though, was definitely birthed in the West, in 18th-19th century Europe. No where else did people purposefully set out to climb mountain peaks for sport and want to risk their lives on purpose to attain that (bizarre, in a sense) goal. It required setting up expeditions, i.e. planning routes/supplies, training, creating/using specialized equipment and climbing styles/techniques, etc. And once that peak was "conquered", testing yourself against the next one, and so on. That's the modern sport of mountain climbing/alpinism, and it shouldn't bother you that it does have a history and that that history was pioneered in the West. Today many people climb, not only Westerners, and that's great.
