Mountain climbing requires high concentration and physical abilities that enable those who perform it to resist the effects of gravity and challenge the rugged terrain that characterizes the mountains.

Although mountaineering is the preserve of highly skilled athletes, both physically and mentally, the sport can be made accessible to all thanks to a Chinese innovation developed for this task.
The Chinese newspaper “The People” published a video clip that it said had been developed in an area in China’s Henan Province for this purpose.
